Scenes From The Project Fair

The Project Fair on Friday was amazing! Sixteen kids participated and no two projects were the same. Each child (presenter and visitor alike) was given a passport to take with them as they visited the various projects. Each presenter had been given a sheet of stickers with a symbol corresponding to their project to then stick on the passport of each person who came to visit them. The girls loved that they had dolphin and horse stickers to stick on their visitors passports!

Grace and Emma did such a fabulous job! It took them a little bit to get used to people stopping by their project and asking them questions but once they got that piece figured out they were good to go. They loved that they also had a chance to go see the other kids projects too. The "Off Exploring...Be Back Soon" signs were brilliant and a great way to give the presenters a chance to go see what other projects were there. 

The two hours passed quickly by and before we knew it it was time to pack up and head home. As soon as we were in the car the girls were already coming up with what they'd like to do for the project fair next year. It sounds like butterflies for Grace and sheep for Emma. It will be interesting to see if they stick with those topics or choose something else. With the way these months keep flying by we'll  find out soon enough!

Project Fair Prep

Tonight we are helping the girls assemble their first ever project fair projects! A couple of years ago we went to the homeschool project fair that was taking place at our town library. It was amazing to meet all the kids and see all the projects they created. 
So this year when the fair date was announced I asked the girls if they'd like to participate. They said "yes!" project topics were chosen and much work has been done. 
Our living room and kitchen have become project central. The girls are hard at work, asking for help when needed and making all the essential decisions that need to be made when getting a project ready to share with the world. 
These projects came together so beautifully. Simple, sweet and so very them. I can't wait to see the girls share all they know about dolphins and horses at the project fair on Friday. It's sure to be a spectacular day!
