Okay, our toe is officially wet!  WOOHOO!!

Bean and I got started with Sonlight's Eastern Hemisphere Explorer today.  I showed her how I was going to highlight each day's reading assignment for her and then showed her how she may have to leave the main article to find some of the answers needed.  We had a great time drawing the flags for Vanuatu, Nauru and New Zealand.  She decided we should have a luau for her first "Choose Your Adventure" project.  She's going to research recipes, make up the shopping list and make sure we get everything when we go grocery shopping.  She's also planning to make a mask out of Model Magic, although as I don't recall the Hawai'ians having masks, I think she's going to do a Maori one instead.  Now our biggest task will be to figure out where the Hawai'ian Luau music CD is since it's been two moves since the last time anyone saw it.  Ruh-roh, Shaggy!

All in all, a GREAT day!  I love easing into the year this way!
