River Mermaid Eh?

Happy Birthday! 

Though we had a night in the camp site but we really have it schedule to experience the river on her exact birthday. 

She kept on touching everything. It is somehow alarming as we are in the river, there might be species that may trigger her asthma. 

Don't get me wrong the river is definitely clean but I am worried about algae or some insects or species underwater. She has asthma, actually all four of them. I am just worried it may trigger. But this brave little girl not hesitate to jump on and keep on touching, feeling textures from stones to river ground and everything. She's exploring difference of sea and river. 

We don't have pen and paper in here definitely, but casual conversations based on their observations. 

Ideally we read before we explore, but sometimes exploration comes first then we read a book. The way they grasp information faster when they saw it in real experience making the studying less challenging and it is more interactive.

The rock serves to be her rails when she tries to put her head below that knee level part of the river. 

First Day High in a Camp Site

It's her 6th and wish granted on a camping. Her birthday is on Wednesday, 6th. 

Thankful for the flexibility of homeschooling. They need not to miss school. 

She said that on her birthday she wanted to go camping, with river to bath and celebrate with a cake. 

The theme for the first day is Favorite Character. She has nothing favorite in particular but this costume is from PJ mask's Owlet. She have seen and watched it the show. It's been a while she wanted to try it. It was her ate's old trick or treat costume. 

She's so happy. 

In this experience they are literally studying trees and plants. It is not a book like studying but more on observing trees, types of plants and types of fruit bearing trees.  Checking on leaves and barks.
