Career Lesson will begin in April ~

Career Lessons for students in grades Kindergarten - 2nd grade will begin in April!
I will be visiting each classroom and discussing the following information with them:
Kindergarten ~ Community Helpers
1st grade ~ What is a job? What is a career? Why do we need to work?
2nd grade ~ What does setting goals have to do with jobs? What do you want to be when you grow up?
Miller's 9th Annual Vehicle Day is scheduled for Thursday, May 15th
Craddock's Career Week is the week of May 12th-16th
Community Helpers
I will post a video of the books we enjoy in class together after we read them ~ please check back often!
