In Social Studies, we have been studying careers. While doing our report on Lance Armstrong, we found that he knew he wanted to be a cyclist at age six or seven. Mrs. O'Brien said that she knew she wanted to be a teacher at age six. We are talking about what we like to do, what we are good at and what abilities we can develop as we grow up. To explore our future career options, we interviewed our mom or dad about the job they have. We presented our information to the class, and then told our friends what we would like to do when we grow up. Here are our observations.
