We're slowly getting into the homeschool mode. Our goal is to making learning fun, real life and effective for who God has made Cedric to be. We didn't realize what an answer to prayer La Calera would be to us. From the first day we started working on farm projects with the Amaia who is also 7 years old and together they've loved basing their learning around doing fun things on the land.
Here is a sample:
Learning how to make cheese. A local man has been super helpful in teaching us not only how to grow food, but how to process it!
Preparing the land.
Planting seeds.
On our friends' farm they raise bunnies for food (they're from Spain and it is a common protein there!). Not pictured are the chickens, rooster, geese and sheep.
We moved our big dog, Papaya, with us and two little puppies also joined the family. Chocolate is the black one and belongs to Cedric. Cookie is the other and belongs to Amaia, but lives with us!
Cedric and Amaia. Neighbors, homeschool buddies and fast becoming best friends.
An unfortunate farm experience involved this 2 inch lovely caterpillar. Turns out if it brushes against your skin it causes a huge welt, rash and stings like crazy. Cedric had one crawling on his shirt that managed to touch his skin in 3 different places. Mama freaked out but was relieved to find out it wasn't deadly!
