Time to brainstorm...

It's time to start thinking about history fair, also known as the National History Day Competition. This year's theme is: Rights and Responsibilities. Details are being worked out now, but the general plan looks like this:



January: Parent Orientation
February: Student Orientation/Topic Selection
March: Research
April: Project
May: History Fair

This fair is open to ALL homeschooled students.

We will be receiving a LOT of support from the Thomas County Historical Society. They are very excited to work with us on this project.

So, be thinking of possible ideas, brainstorm, plan, look at your schedule for the semester, and get ready for history fair!
