It's time to start thinking about history fair, also known as the <a href="http://www.nhd.org/">National History Day</a> Competition. This year's theme is: Rights and Responsibilities. Details are being worked out now, but the general plan looks like this:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
January: Parent Orientation<br />
February: Student Orientation/Topic Selection<br />
March: Research<br />
April: Project<br />
May: History Fair<br />
<br />
This fair is open to ALL homeschooled students.<br />
<br />
We will be receiving a LOT of support from the <a href="http://thomascountyhistory.org/">Thomas County Historical Society</a>. They are very excited to work with us on this project.<br />
<br />
So, be thinking of possible ideas, brainstorm, plan, look at your schedule for the semester, and get ready for history fair!Joy Slaughterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04488112728458014023noreply@blogger.com0
