After spending time looking through all of the incredible books Capstone® Publishing had to offer, I was really excited about this series. So many books talk about community helpers and specific jobs, but not all are as unique as this collection. This series of children’s books provide a great opportunity for students to learn about different jobs that exist based on the things that they like. That’s why I believe that this would be a great addition to a classroom library!
While thinking about this series, I came up with a writing activity for young students that would be similar to what an adult is required to complete prior to job hunting — Click “download template” button under the materials list to get the free printable.
It's a great way to get students thinking about what skills are necessary to complete certain jobs. Hopefully it will inspire students to think about their own special talents and how they will use them in the future. In addition, I developed an activity that allows students to express their creativity. Using Look It's Me Shaped Craft Sticks students can create a craft version of themselves based on their resume. These could be used as bookmarks, labels or as a piece of classroom décor. I believe this set of books can incorporate well within the social studies, reading and writing curriculum within the classroom setting.
