KINDERGARTEN CAREER DAY

On Tuesday, October 7th the Kindergarten students in Ms. Fichter and Ms. P's class experienced their very first Kindergarten Career Day as an extension of their Social Studies unit. Many of our Kindergarten parents visited during Career Day to tell students about their jobs, answer questions the students had about their careers, and even included the Kindergarteners in some interactive activities to learn about their jobs! Our students heard from different doctors and were able to use real stethoscopes! They were given the chance to play on an iPad on an App created by one of our parents. They became computer programmers by giving two of our parents specific directions about how to make a sandwich... much like creating detailed and specific instructions for a computer program! They learned about Computer Programming, The Weather Channel, creators of different iPad applications, an attorney, a Radio Engineer for AT&T, and the Nurse profession. The students were so excited to hear about the many different career opportunities represented by our Kindergarten parents, and were so curious about what each of the positions entailed. A giant THANK YOU to the parents who volunteered their time to share with our students... they had a fantastic time learning about the many different career opportunities in the world!
