First grade explores the difference between goods and services

First graders welcomed nine visitors to Moore on Friday January 29th to help them learn about goods and services and different jobs in our community. Our visitors included a lawyer, architect, security guard, volunteer, nurse, school administrator, and several small business owners. Students had the opportunity to interview their guests to learn more about what each career entails. Inquisitive minds wondered all kinds of things from “What do you do?” and “How do you help people?” To “Do you have 1,000 paper clips?” First grade will continue with this unit for two weeks before moving on to the next. We are so grateful to our guests for their time and we hope they will come and see us again soon.
