As a follow-up to our Career
Fair and National Career Development month, we did a Snowmen at Work lesson in classroom guidance. We incorporated
technology with our read aloud through iBooks, mirrored onto the Apple TV. The
students LOVED seeing the illustrations magnified! On each page, we talked about each job that
is portrayed. Snowmen at Work features a vast array of occupations,
all demonstrated by snowmen: snow removal crews, dentist, mechanic, grocer, pet
store owner, baker, teacher, magician, firefighter, librarian, pizza delivery,
factory worker, big rig driver, and president of the United States.
We discussed all aspects of each career mentioned in the story,
and students were asked to identify other careers that may be involved, but
were not directly mentioned. They did a GREAT job of filling in the blanks and
being creative in their thinking! After we concluded the story, students were
asked to think and share what career they may like to have when they get older
before completing artwork or writing. The students loved creating
these projects and sharing them with the class. Each class did a fantastic job
of thinking what each community helper would wear, and the tools used to get the
job done! We also discussed what we need to do RIGHT NOW in order to achieve
our career of choice.
