The Habits We Harvest

  • Short lessons harness children's natural power of attention.
  • Attention stays fresh by varying lessons that require sustained mental effort with more active experiences.
  • Children retell and discuss stories to remember what they learn. Jesus taught the most vital ideas in this way.
  • Notebooking and living the books that are read fosters thinking, imagination, creativity, and delight.
  • Inspiring internal habits of the mind and spirit in this manner de-emphasizes artificial rewards.
  • Term finales in which children share what they have retained long-term reveal the fruit of their efforts.

​Sow an act, reap a habit;
    Sow a habit, reap a character;
    Sow a character, reap a life.

But first,
    We must sow the idea
    That makes the act worth while.

Bear fruit well...
