Assembly Line

Attention Shoppers! Our current story, The Goat in the Rug, led to a discussion of goods and services and how to produce them. The main character wove a rug by herself which took a long time. We decided to see how long it would take us! After twenty minutes, our individual attempts yielded two rugs. Next, we explored the idea of an assembly line. We worked so hard that some workers got a blister from cutting! Not only did we have fun working together - we learned all about assembly lines that produce goods. In the end, we decided our rug business would not have made it because we spent too much on supplies and did not produce enough goods.
