RE: Unschooling at the Austin Zoo, An Aninal Rescue Sanctuary

in #unschooling6 years ago (edited)

I wonder how hard it would be to do a little Q&A with a zookeeper there.

I feel like when I was younger, I didn’t ask enough questions. In fact, I was kind of jealous of the kids who were able to come up with really good questions. I just kind of took what was given to me.

Now that I see asking questions as a skill, I wish I would have had more practice growing up.

So- I know you just went to the zoo, but what if on your next visit, everyone on your learning adventure (both you and your kids) took some time to think of 3 really good questions to ask a zoo keeper- then found one to talk to?

That’s what-9 interesting questions to ask?
And if the zoo keeper doesn’t know, I’ll bet you could look it up and teach him. How empowering would that be for your little ones!?

I love your parenting/ teaching style- by the way. Keep unschooling :)

We actually go once a year to the homeschool day and they have zookeepers set up at stations all over! On this visit we did talk to the woman feeding the exotic birds, but I agree, more questions would have been a great thing!
