"When I Grow Up" by Mrs. Dollar's Second Graders
A sailor, a plumber, a doctor, and a movie star are just a few of the occupations Mrs. Dollar's second graders are considering for their upcoming Career Day. The children quickly realize it is great fun to explore all the different choices of what they want to be when they grow up. At the end of Career Day, everyone agrees that whatever you chose to do in life, you just have to give it your all. Just be the very best "whatever you are" that you can possibly be!
Congratulations to Mrs. Dollar and her superb second graders for a "job" well done! Thank you to Mrs. Lee, once again, for her musical direction. Also, thank you to all of the parents involved for their time and support.
