Fifth Grade: The Six Career Paths

For our last rotation, I will spend two weeks on careers with fifth grade, and we will spend the final lesson discussing safety. For our first career lesson, we talked about the Six Career Paths.

We began the lesson by discussing why we talk about careers in elementary school, and why what we do in elementary school is important in preparing for our futures. We watched a small video clip from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education "What is a Career Path?" video, then we spent the rest of the time discussing this prezi. As a class we brainstormed several jobs that would fall into each career path.
