Kindergarten Careers Lesson

We're starting a new lesson in kindergarten tomorrow! We'll learn about careers. My goal is for the students to learn briefly about the wide variety of careers that are out there and to start becoming familiar with some jobs they haven't heard of yet. I also want them to start thinking about how the things they are learning in school are used in grown-up jobs. 

So, we will be solving riddles about careers and playing a whole class game of tic-tac-toe. I'll divide the class into two teams and draw a tic-tac-toe board on the classroom whiteboard. Then I'll read a clue to the students on one team, like "This person builds buildings and houses. They use hammers, nails, and big machines like cranes," or "This person knows a lot about books and likes to read. They work in a place with lots and lots of books on shelves and tables." The students will have the chance to talk to their team before they decide on an answer. If they get it right, one student will come up to the board and put an X or an O on the board. Usually this also becomes a lesson in sportsmanship too! I think it will be fun and I am looking forward to the learning and excitement. I will see Pate, Hester, Curry, Watkins, Mitchell, and Sullivan's classes this week. All other classes will take place next week. If you have any questions, just let me know!

Thanks for reading! We are glad you're here!
