Career Day

We had a fantastic career day on Monday! We had many guests who came to visit our classroom. Some jobs included an occupational therapist, a firefighter, a paralegal, a makeup artist, a filmmaker, a wireless networker, an IT specialist, and a physical trainer. Just to name a few! Thank you for everyone who was able to volunteer! Take some time to talk to your kids about what you do. We have discussed why people work (to earn money) and the purpose of money (to buy our needs and wants.) Students also learned that each job provides a good or a service. Jobs that provide goods are professions such as a baker or chef. They make things. Jobs that provide a service help people or doing something such as a doctor or barber. Our community helper unit goes through September 13th. Below are some career day pictures. Sorry I couldn't capture everyone!

 < Mr. Stevens talking about finding actors for a movie.

 < Mr. Rogers using Edouardo as a volunteer for stop, drop, and roll. He also let students touch his hat and listen to what it sounds like when a firefighter is breathing through his tank.

Each student got to lift (with assistance) the weight and learned some self defense moves (for when they aren't at school :) )
