What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

This week Grade 2 discussed their dreams jobs and the class had some diverse answers to the commonly asked question: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”  Jobs mentioned for the future included French teacher (Matt), professional tennis player (Tristan - maybe Canada’s next Roger Federer?), video game creator (Aarav) and teacher (Annika).  To help them navigate the myriad of professions available to them, Grade 2 learned that certain jobs are best for people with different personal interests.  For example, if you enjoy doing Science projects, collecting rocks and minerals, and solving math problems you are best suited to investigative jobs such as doctor, engineer, pharmacist, psychologist and dietician.  The class then completed an adapted version of a careers test to find out the best jobs for them.  Below is a photo of the class with their favorite job based on the results of their individual test.  Looks like we have a lot of future scientists in Grade 2!

Aarav - doctor, Annika - biologist, Tristan - biologist, Haseeb - biologist and Matt - Engineer
