Tooker Avenue Students Celebrate Occupation Day

Second-graders in AnnMarie Ayerle’s class at Tooker Avenue Elementary School in the West Babylon Union Free School District recently celebrated their study of various careers during Occupation Day.

Upon completing a study of community helpers and communities, a key component of the second-grade social studies curriculum, the students selected a career that they felt represented their “dream job.”

On June 11, students, dressed in outfits representing their career choices, presented an overview of their chosen jobs based on the research and information they had gathered to an audience of their parents and grandparents, who likewise dressed in clothing depicting their own careers.
