HSC 2026-03-18 Once Upon a Time, Part 1 - Samuel Blumenthal

Today’s mystery, Dark Treasure, comes from Guide’s Greatest Mystery Stories—a perfect moment for moms and dads to take a little break while the kids dive into suspense and discovery. In Curriculum Corner, we explore what children learn while playing Hide-n-Seek, from problem-solving and emotional regulation to teamwork and spatial awareness. The episode concludes with reflections from Dr. Samuel Blumenthal, author of Once Upon a Time: A Collection of Short Stories for Those Trying to Find Their Way Home. Blumenthal writes, “Stories have always been about us—a mirror in which we can see ourselves, our hopes and dreams, but also our greatest dilemmas.” His collection illustrates gospel truths through the themes of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration, all viewed through the lens of God’s perfect love.Every child’s first school is their home.
