Our First Project Fair
Our First Project Fair
 
 Mrs. Lewis Palmer

 It all began innocently enough.  It was a wonderful January day.  I was reading my e-mail from THSC.  Next I was at their Web site reading about the upcoming Family Conference; then I was clicking on a link to the first state home school project fair. 

Wonderful memories began to flash through my mind.  When I was in the eighth grade I won my local science fair and went to the regional competition in Dallas, at which I won an award.  What a great thing to expose my son to! So he is only nine and only in the fourth grade; but, still, it would be so exciting! What made up my mind was that the project fair offered both science and history categories.

Although my son loves his science, I knew that history would be better for our first try.  In my "let's all get excited" voice, I told my son about the fair.  He had no clue what I was talking about, but he said it sounded neat
