Coolde Factoiy in Huntley
The Cookies Incorporated Measurement Project was started by grade school children as low as 2nd grade. These diildren started their own business making cookies, whidi turned out to be a saccess for the three months time that they had it.
The children were in control of everything. They went to the bank which they had a tour of and opoied a savings and dieddng account. These children had the responsibHlity of writing out and signing the checks and keeping trade of how mudh nxmey was in the bank. The children then sold stodcs which in the end when scUd out, each person that bought the sto<±s received thirty seven cents a share. 	
The next step was to go comparison shopping for the ingredients, which they found the generic brand to be the less expensive. When they made the cookies they used the Home-Ec room at the sdMwl and paid five cent per each dozen cookies for the use of the electricity.
During the three months they had this operation they kept track of how much profit they made, which turned out to be fi%-three cents on the dollar. Not bad at all for a group of grade sdiool Uds. The all said they learned something out of it. Some said they learned what it takes to have a good working team and otiiers said they had a good understanding of how a small business gets started.
