“ He that commends me to mine own content

Commends me to the thing I cannot get.

I to the world am like a drop of water That in the ocean seeks another drop, Who, falling there to find his fellow forth, Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself.

So I, to find a mother and a brother, In quest of them, unhappy, lose myself.”

Welcome to Little Hearts Treasure, a Scripture memory series from The Story House Academy, created especially for little listeners.

In Part 1, we’re learning Ephesians 4:32:

Through gentle repetition, music, and a short, joyful explanation, children will learn not only how to remember the words of Scripture, but begin to understand what they mean in everyday life—being kind when someone needs a friend, having a tender heart toward others, offering forgiveness, and remembering the incredible forgiveness Jesus has given us.

Play it during morning time, breakfast, quiet play, car rides, or throughout the week. Come back again and again until these beautiful words become familiar enough for your little one to carry with them.

Hide it in your heart. Live it every day. Share God's love.

In this episode of History Memory Work from The Story House Academy, we’re learning the story of George Washington through two history memory songs designed to help important names, events, places, and ideas settle into long-term memory.

After singing our memory work, we step beyond the facts and meet Washington within his story from a young Virginia surveyor and inexperienced military officer to commander of the Continental Army and eventually the first President of the United States.

We will discover that Washington’s story wasn't one of effortless success. It included mistakes, hardship, uncertainty, and years of perseverance. We'll consider his leadership during the American Revolution, the suffering at Valley Forge, his remarkable willingness to surrender power, and the complicated parts of his legacy as well.

Most importantly, we'll explore one word that appears again and again in his story:

Tenacity.

The determination to keep going when the outcome is uncertain and the road ahead is difficult.

Because at The Story House Academy, our goal isn't simply to memorize history.

We memorize the names and places so that we have somewhere to hang the stories.

🎵 Includes two George Washington memory songs + a short story-based history lesson.

They know something has gone terribly wrong.

And still…..they ride.

In Part 5 of our Alfred Lord Tennyson Poet Study, we step onto the battlefield of the Crimean War and discover the true event that inspired

We’ll explore the disastrous military order that sent the British Light Brigade charging toward Russian artillery, and then listen to how Tennyson transforms history into poetry. Pay attention to the pounding rhythm of the language: the poem itself seems to gallop.

Along the way, we’ll wrestle with some difficult questions about courage, duty, obedience, leadership, sacrifice, and honor. Tennyson does not ask us to pretend the command was wise. Instead, he asks us to remember the extraordinary courage of the men who carried it out.

And when the charge is over, Tennyson leaves his readers with a command of his own:

“Honor the Light Brigade.”

Together, we’ll follow Tennyson’s little flower through its strange journey and ask some bigger questions: Why are new ideas so often mocked before they are accepted? What happens when something meaningful becomes fashionable? And should we measure the value of something by whether the crowd happens to love it?

This is a poem about beauty, originality, popularity, imitation, and having the courage to value something before everyone else does.
