Jobs People Do
Different kinds of work people do; that people earn money by working; how jobs help the community; linking personal interests to possible jobs

- Explain that people get paid money for the work they do
- Connect a personal interest to a job (e.g. 'I like animals so I could be a vet')
The lesson
A job is work a person does. People do many different jobs. Doctors, teachers, and farmers all have jobs. When people work, they earn money. That money helps them buy things they need.
Meet five people with jobs. A teacher helps kids learn new things. A doctor helps people who feel sick. A farmer grows food like corn and apples. A firefighter puts out fires to keep us safe. A baker makes bread and yummy treats.
Think about what you like to do. If you like animals, you could be a vet. If you like to build things, you could be a builder. Your interests can point to a fun job.
People do different jobs and earn money for their work.
