Our first week was great!

Everything went so well this week!! Bean is super excited about learning everything she can about the Eastern Hemisphere. As I type this, she is off making a Maori mask out of Model Magic to hang up at our Pacific Islands Feast she is making next Friday. I can see her from here and she is concentrating SO hard. I'll post pictures after she paints it next week. I love, love, love, love, LOVE how the Choose Your Adventure projects will help her to learn how to plan out a project, doing a little each day, so that she doesn't wait until the last minute to try to get it done. So far for her Feast she has 1) found a mask design to inspire her, 2) found recipes and created a shopping list, 3) found hula music and directions on how to hula, and 4) is working on her mask. She has little parts of the project planned for each day next week culminating with 8) shopping for the feast and 9) cooking the feast. I love it!!
