Economics K.6: The student will match simple descriptions of work that people do with the names of those jobs. 

A community is made up of different groups of people who live and work together.  The very smallest unit that could be called a community is your family, and then comes your neighborhood, and finally the town or city that you live in.  People work together in a community to help each other.  Just about everyone in the community is a helper in some way.  That is what makes a community, a group of people working together to make a better place for everyone.
