This book tells the story of how
Santa (Yes, that's his real first name!) became the jolly man that we know
today. He had to try many different jobs before he found the one that was
perfect for him. He was a chimney sweep, mailman, waiter, zoo keeper, and
circus worker before he was hired by the elves to deliver the toys that they make.
This wonderful story illustrates how, as adults, we often have to try
many, many different jobs until we find the perfect fit (if we're lucky!).
Next, students were asked to identify what job they would
like to have when they're adults. I borrowed an activity from a
fellow counselor (Thank you, KR!) and asked the children to complete the
statement and illustrate what they want to do when they're adults.
This student wants to be a truck driver.
This student wants to be a doctor.
I also encouraged the students to
talk to their parents about the different jobs that they've had in their lives.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Muller
