Here are a few ideas to get you started: \n\n\nDress like Abe Lincoln (and maybe even recite the Gettysburg Address) \nShow your salt dough map of South Carolina \nRead your report on nomads\n Build a model of a pyramid and show what’s inside \nSing a song from another country\n\nProjects can be something you already completed previously as a way to showcase learning that you’ve already completed. Or projects can represent current learning in progress. We recommend projects that are hands-on\, interactive demonstrations or have samples\, hand-outs\, giveaways. \nTables are provided\, but you can bring your own table for your display. Set up from (10 am-10:20 am). Presentation shifts will begin at 10:30 am. \nAll Participants will get certificate and prize. Please pre-register so we can prepare certificates and space.\nFees help cover the overhead costs of the facility use. \nPresentation format: The presenters get to tell about their project several times\, not just a one-time show-n-tell as participants meander and mingle. It’s also very relaxed style of presenting one-on-one\, rather than the formal “speech”. \nExamples: Here’s a peek at a few of the projects from previous share fairs.\n \nPre-register to participate in Social Studies Share Fair: URL:https://www.colacityhomeschoolers.com/event/social-studies-fair/ LOCATION:In Person CATEGORIES:All Ages,Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231005T060000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231005T160000 DTSTAMP:20260602T100343 CREATED:20230901T154913Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230901T154950Z UID:29688-1696485600-1696521600@www.colacityhomeschoolers.com SUMMARY:CMA: First Thursday Free DESCRIPTION:First Thursday Free\nBy Columbia Museum of Art\nThursday\, Oct 5 from 10am-8pm\nAll ages — FREE\nNote: This is *not* a Cola City event.
