Little Students Hone Big Business Skills
By Matthew Strickland

Running a business and earning a buck can be tough, so one kindergarten teacher at McDougal Elementary School created a mini-marketplace called “Bunnyville” to help teach a group of 5-year-olds the importance of community, social skills and economics.

Bunnyville peddlers offer home grown plants, hand made jewelry and a few other things you don't find at your average supermarket.

"We are selling dead frogs," said one merchant.

"A thing that sucks blood," said another.

Consumers used “bunny bucks” to pay for the products they wanted.

In Bunnyville, a few bunny bucks can get you anything from pizza to ice cream.

Ms. Mcgehee, an assistant teacher, says that Bunnyville helps to teach the future business men and women of America about their communities.

“Bunnyville has been a great experience for all the kids, and they just get to come together, and we've been learning about community helpers and business around the communities," Mcgehee said.

Whether you need a doctor's visit, a lick of ice cream or just have a taste for the unusual, Bunnyville is one lesson that has proved to be a hopping good time for all.
