CheckHave you ever thought about how cool it would be to own your own BUSINESS??? Well, in 4th grade you get to create your own product and open your own business!
It is called MINI - SOCIETY!!!
Each classroom will create their own society. The students will pick a society name, a currency, and create an array of businesses that provide goods and services. The students will apply for various jobs and learn how the economy works.
Through out the mini society experience students will learn how to balance a budget, learn about expenses, differentiate between goods and services , along with so much more! It also encourages them to work together! A society's members must work together in order to succeed!
This is one of our favorite things to teach in 4th grade! The kids love it and they get to be so creative!!
Check back later in the year for more info!
