In kindergarten I introduced careers with one of my favorite stories, Not a Box written by Antoinette Portis. This book just screams imagination! We follow a rabbit as he uses a "box" as many different items - guessing before we turn the page to see what he is pretending to be this time. I like the springboard into careers it provides and message that you can be anything.
After the story, we watched this adorable music video that highlights even more careers: Then I passed out coloring books (you can download for free here) that had a variety of careers you could choose to color. Some students even drew their own ideas of what they'd like to be when they grew up.
Is the Career coloring book above still available online? The link is no longer available.
ReplyDeleteHmm. I guess they took it down. Here's another one I found: http://mychildsfuture.org/parents/activities/Activity_ES_OccupationsColoring.pdf
