Academic​ ​Content​ ​Standards

State​ ​the​ ​CA​ ​content​ ​standards​ ​and/or​ ​the​ ​Common​ ​Core​ ​State​ ​Standards​ ​for​ ​this​ ​lesson.

jobs​ ​at​ ​the​ ​school,​ ​in​ ​the​ ​local​ ​community,​ ​and​ ​from​ ​historical​ ​accounts.

Plan​ ​on​ ​a​ ​30​ ​minute​ ​lesson.

Prior​ ​Learning
Describe​ ​the​ ​learning​ ​that​ ​has​ ​taken​ ​place​ ​that​ ​sets​ ​the​ ​stage​ ​for​ ​this​ ​lesson.
Activities​ ​with​ ​cops,​ ​firefighters.​ ​It​ ​would​ ​be​ ​helpful​ ​if​ ​one​ ​comes​ ​in​ ​and​ ​talks​ ​to​ ​the​ ​kids
and​ ​hands​ ​out​ ​stickers.
Unit​ ​of​ ​Study
I​ ​will​ ​address​ ​in​ ​this​ ​standard​ ​that​ ​the​ ​community​ ​all​ ​have​ ​different​ ​jobs.​ ​I​ ​will​ ​show
them​ ​thats​ ​there​ ​are​ ​important​ ​jobs​ ​within​ ​the​ ​community.​ ​I​ ​will​ ​also​ ​make​ ​sure​ ​that​ ​the​ ​kids
know​ ​what​ ​the​ ​jobs​ ​consist​ ​of​ ​doing.​ ​I​ ​will​ ​read​ ​the​ ​book​ ​“When​ ​I​ ​Grow​ ​up.”

Academic​ ​Learning​ ​Outcomes

The​ ​kids​ ​will​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​know​ ​what​ ​the​ ​community​ ​jobs​ ​are​ ​and​ ​what​ ​there​ ​job​ ​consist​ ​of.
They​ ​will​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​relate​ ​to​ ​know​ ​if​ ​that’s​ ​what​ ​they​ ​want​ ​to​ ​be​ ​when​ ​they​ ​grow​ ​up.​ ​They​ ​will
know​ ​that​ ​each​ ​job​ ​has​ ​an​ ​impact​ ​on​ ​what​ ​they​ ​do​ ​today.

1.​ ​The​ ​students​ ​will​ ​know​ ​what​ ​a​ ​police​ ​officers​ ​and​ ​firefighters​ ​do

2.​ ​The​ ​students​ ​will​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​identify​ ​with​ ​their​ ​childhood​ ​dream​ ​job.

3.​ ​The​ ​students​ ​will​ ​know​ ​that​ ​each​ ​job​ ​has​ ​an​ ​impact​ ​on​ ​what​ ​they​ ​do​ ​today.

4.​ ​TSW​ ​answer​ ​all​ ​the​ ​questions​ ​about​ ​jobs​ ​that​ ​I​ ​bring​ ​up,​ ​like,​ ​janitor,​ ​teacher,​ ​principle,​ ​cops,
firefighter,​ ​student​ ​and​ ​other​ ​community​ ​jobs.

Implementation
1.​ ​Introduction​ ​to​ ​Lesson​ ​(Hook​ ​-​ ​simple​ ​and​ ​quick)
 I​ ​would​ ​ask​ ​them​ ​if​ ​they​ ​have​ ​ever​ ​seen​ ​a​ ​police​ ​car,​ ​firefighter​ ​engine​ ​or​ ​even​ ​seen​ ​any
type​ ​of​ ​people​ ​working?​ ​I​ ​will​ ​reassure​ ​that​ ​they​ ​already​ ​know​ ​about​ ​the​ ​topic​ ​we​ ​are​ ​about​ ​to​ ​go
over.​ ​I​ ​will​ ​also​ ​ask​ ​them​ ​what​ ​their​ ​dream​ ​job​ ​is.
Sequence​ ​of​ ​Activities
1. (TTW)​ ​The​ ​teacher​ ​will​ ​ask​ ​them​ ​“what​ ​jobs​ ​do​ ​you​ ​parents​ ​have?”​ ​Then​ ​I​ ​would​ ​ask
them​ ​if​ ​they​ ​knew​ ​what​ ​their​ ​job​ ​did.​ ​During​ ​this​ ​whole​ ​exercise​ ​I​ ​would​ ​write​ ​down
what​ ​each​ ​student​ ​says​ ​or​ ​even​ ​categorize​ ​them.

2.​ ​TTW​ ​make​ ​sure​ ​each​ ​student​ ​takes​ ​a​ ​turn,​ ​by​ ​that​ ​I​ ​will​ ​use​ ​the​ ​popsicle​ ​method,​ ​just​ ​to​ ​make
sure​ ​each​ ​student​ ​answers.

3.​ ​TTW​ ​make​ ​sure​ ​they​ ​know​ ​what​ ​colors​ ​go​ ​with​ ​each​ ​job,​ ​for​ ​example,​ ​cops​ ​have​ ​blue​ ​and
what​ ​equipment​ ​they​ ​may​ ​have.

4.​ ​TTW​ ​make​ ​sure​ ​they​ ​draw​ ​and​ ​the​ ​kids​ ​will​ ​cut​ ​out,​ ​the​ ​logo​ ​of​ ​the​ ​police​ ​star​ ​and​ ​the​ ​kids
will​ ​write​ ​Officer​ ​“their​ ​name”​ ​or​ ​but​ ​badges​ ​so​ ​they​ ​can​ ​write​ ​their​ ​name​ ​on​ ​it.

5.​ ​TTW​ ​also​ ​make​ ​sure​ ​they​ ​know​ ​how​ ​to​ ​draw​ ​and​ ​I​ ​would​ ​give​ ​them​ ​a​ ​piece​ ​of​ ​paper​ ​and​ ​they
will​ ​draw​ ​a​ ​car​ ​or​ ​something​ ​related​ ​to​ ​the​ ​job​ ​they​ ​have​ ​learned.

Closure
Reflect/Question​ ​etc.
I​ ​will​ ​close​ ​the​ ​lesson​ ​by​ ​re-asking​ ​the​ ​children,​ ​“What​ ​did​ ​you​ ​learn​ ​about​ ​police
officers,”​ ​or​ ​ ​“Is​ ​there​ ​a​ ​different​ ​job​ ​that​ ​appeals​ ​to​ ​you​ ​.”​ ​I​ ​will​ ​clearly​ ​write​ ​down​ ​what​ ​they
each​ ​say

Assessment
How​ ​will​ ​you​ ​know​ ​what​ ​students​ ​have​ ​learned?​ ​Address​ ​each​ ​learning​ ​outcome​ ​specifically.
1. What​ ​colors​ ​do​ ​firefighters​ ​use?
2.​ ​What​ ​is​ ​one​ ​thing​ ​that​ ​you​ ​like?
3.​ ​Who​ ​wears​ ​this​ ​type​ ​of​ ​badge?​ ​*holds​ ​up​ ​a​ ​picture*
