Our first grade classes have been hard at work learning about goods and services! Throughout this unit, students explored the difference between things people make (goods) and jobs people do for others (services).

To bring their learning to life, they created their own goods and practiced providing services, then set up a classroom store. Students took turns being shopkeepers and customers, using their creations to buy, sell, and make change. It was a fun, hands-on way to build real-world understanding—and they did an amazing job!
