For our final three lessons, we will be focusing on careers and student safety. For this lesson, we focused specifically on careers.
We began the lesson by talking about hobbies, interests, and careers. We discussed what each of these words mean and shared some examples of what we could do for hobbies, topics we could be interested in, and examples of careers. We spoke about how hobbies can become careers for some people, but do not always become careers; sometimes hobbies simply remain hobbies. We also spoke about how sometimes our interests can become our careers.
We watched an episode of Buckalope Elementary called "Interests, Hobbies, and Careers," where students heard the Career song. Next, we read "Whose Tools are These," a book that shows students pictures of tools that are used for a specific career. Students guess which job goes with that set of tools, and we talk about how those tools are used for this particular occupation.
