Mini Society is a program used to teach children economic principles in the classroom.  Slideshow by Jenny Kidd and Sandy Kelley Opportunities for Assessment Students name their society, create and earn money, then produce goods. They sell goods or perform services in markets. Students are able to experience supply, demand, price, value, economic choices, opportunity cost and use the terms in a meaningful way. Our Mini-Society Experiences Mrs. Kidd’s class named their society Snoopytown Mrs. Kelley’s class choseWinterville Students created class money in Math when we studied money and we voted for our currency. Then we went to work  Blake, Levi, Adrian, Dylan, David, and Brandon worked together Students bought materials from our warehouse paying with class cash and became producers. Mrs. Kelley’s class made products in school and at home Some students produced goods and sold them in class. Students earned class money by doing homework, class jobs and chores at home. Finally, our market day arrived! Snoopytown Some were shopkeepers while others shopped. Others provided services Everyone had a great time! When Market was over, all the goods were sold Mrs. Kelley’s class made a journal about Mini-Society Each student got to write about the experience and what they learned.
