Homeschool Life in Volcan

You wouldn't believe that there really is a good homeschool life here in Volcan. It's one of the reasons we brought as many books as we did to open the homeschool lending library. We have been planning and participating in various field trips and other events around town. Volcan is quite small so we have to head toward David for some activities. 

One activity we have really enjoyed is taking in English speaking movies with friends. We have seen Cars 3 and Spider-Man! We pretty much fill up the theater and our whole family can go for $20! Popcorn is super cheap too! $3.75 for a large popcorn! Having a solid group of friends here has really helped out and we love getting together with them. 

 After the movies, we headed to a local wing place for $.50 wings! Our group took up the whole patio and we had a blast!

One field trip we have done is going to Don Joaquin to learn how they make their cheeses. We got to watch the process, ask a lot of questions and find out why their cheese is so yummy. The best part is we got to sample a lot of cheese (including some tasty goat cheese) and the kids all got a yogurt tube. Then we got to go outside and have a duro. They have THE BEST duros around!! The yogurt tubes are now a regular part of our day and we didn't know before the trip that they even carried them. Such a great place and who doesn't love supporting small businesses?

We get other stuff done too. We have all of the books sorted into piles and boxed back up. They're waiting for the house to be worked on and the shelves to go up but we've already had a lot of people come by to borrow books. We usually do our school work in the afternoon since it rains then. The mornings are left for exploring and playing outside. I have some plans for park playdates and the like in the future. Just wanted to give you a glimpse of homeschool life here. So blessed to have a group that God has provided for us and the kids!
