Here are our thoughts from the moment we saw it in the catalog:
Bear {4} knew *exactly* what he wanted to do with it. He wanted to talk about all the different aspects of each of their jobs.
I was very impressed that the figures portrayed not only various races, but also promoted gender equality by portraying the airline pilot and veterinarian as women and the chef as man. This type of thinking is something that I express frequently with Bear… That anyone can be anything they want.
To complete our activity, we used:
To set up, I laid out the profession tools out and placed pieces of foam in a semi-circle on our work space. Then I put the figures on the foam. (Most pieces had 2 figures on them.)
Then Bear set out classifying each item in front of each of each profession. I included various items that could correspond to different figures. For example: a dog could be cared for by a veterinarian, bark and chase a mail carrier, be a K-9 unit for the police, or a rescue dog for the fire department. other items that were open-ended were a carrot (vet or chef), warning cones (construction worker or firefighter). I did this so that not all of the choices were right or wrong.
