Ms. Davis’s students jumped into learning as they explored different careers and discovered how classroom learning connects to their futures! Students identified jobs using pictures, clothing, and tools; discussed the responsibilities of different workers; and reflected on their own interests, strengths, and future dreams.
We are proud of the excitement and participation each student demonstrated, whether answering questions, dressing up, identifying pictures, or sharing what they hope to become someday. Way to be Engaged Learners, Jackets!
