I love being able to witness my girls' passions, and see how they lead from one thing to the next. Georgia's interest in Crocodilians led to an interest in learning more about the Yangtze River, which led to learning more about rivers of the world, which led to traveling the world through Google Earth, which led to discovering the Sandwich Islands, which led to the history of the sandwich and explorers, lol.
She also discovered through her research that the Cincinnati Zoo has a special program with the Chinese Alligator. (one of two alligators, the second being our own American Alligator) It is one of the rarest of the crocodilians, with very few surviving to adulthood due to loss of habitat, pollution, over-hunting, poisoning (from local rice paddy farmers trying to poison pests, which the alligators then eat.) What the Cincinnai Zoo does is they raise the Chinese Alligators until old enough to survive on their own, then they release them into the Yangtze River in China! We already have plans for visiting the Cincy Zoo when the weather warms a bit, and I'm sure we'll get into other interests along the way!!
Unschooling is an adventure I get to share with my kids!!! I love it!!
