The Homeschool group we belong to is having a science fair. Elias and Ben decided fairly quickly to participate and then decide what topic they would explore. I assumed that Aria would not be interested, or of an age were she would have the attention span to focus on such a project. As with all the things we examine she would be a part of the project the boys were looking at, so she wouldn't have been excluded. When we were discussing what the project the boys were doing might involve she asked a lot of questions about the fair itself. It soon became very clear the wheels were in motion completely of her own drive to create a science project of her own. She has been working incredibly hard gathering books at the library, writing to friends for information and creating a beautiful book to display....with very little guidance or assistance from anyone! While she displays her independence and determination on a daily basis, I found myself floored with the maturity and clarity of vision she is taking on this project. Wow! She's growing in ways that awe me. Stay tuned for the final results.
