Learning together

As of this year I started in a new journey as a mom, providing education for my daughters at home, in other words,

into the Homeshooling adventure, doing this a bit upon their own request.

Taking charge to educate your kids at home is something that does not happen for (ticos) Costarricans, since it is something that the Ministry of Education here does not recognize it as valid. So, I faced a few challenges in how to get started from facing the odds to making sure to register my daughters at an "Umbrella Covering School" in the Us for the sake of record keeping.

So we have started, we have our up and low days; I love the fact that as they are learning Im also learning new things, we are discovering things together that maybe I wouldn't ever have taken the time to explore, this is our new journey and it has just began...

The soul of a child is the loveliest flower
That grows in the garden of God.
It climbs from weakness to knowledge and power,
To the sky from the clay and the clod.

To beauty and sweetness it grows under care;
Neglected 'tis ragged and wild,
It's a plant that is tender and wondrously rare,
The sweet wistful soul of a child.

Be tender, O gardener, and give it it's share
Of moisture, of warmth and of light,
And let it not lack for painstaking care
To protect it from frost and the blight.

A glad day shall come when it's bloom shall unfold
It will seem that an angel has smiled.
Reflecting a beauty and sweetness untold
In the sensitive soul of a child.
