Third Grade: The Six Career Paths

For our final three lessons, I will spend one week on careers and two weeks on student safety.

For our career lesson, we spoke about why we talk about careers. We also spoke about how what we learn in elementary school helps us to have careers when we grow up. We watched The Six Career Paths, a video created by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. This video discusses each career path and several jobs within each career path. The video shows interviews with real workers who talk about what they do, and what elementary school skills help them in their jobs. After the video, we discussed which career path students thought they wanted to work in.
