Story: We will tell the story of 'Abdu'l-Baha (as a young boy) going out to inspect his father's flock of sheep. When the man who is accompanying him tells him that they cannot leave the shepherds without giving them a gift (as his father always did), 'Abdu'l-Baha thinks carefully, because he has brought nothing to give them, and then he decides to give the shepherds the sheep as a gift. His father, Baha'u'llah, was pleased with this, even though 'Abdu'l-Baha had given away their sheep. 'Abdu'l-Baha showed great generosity towards the shepherds, and he continued to show great generosity for the rest of his life. Generosity does not always mean giving 'something', it can mean spending time with someone, making food for someone, sharing toys with someone, or just giving love. It can mean many things and we will talk with the kids about this.Music: We will sing the song "Love is something if you give it away" (an old favourite!). Since it has been a few weeks since our last class, we'll review our rhythm cards and begin to talk about
pitch.
Craft: We'll bake and decorate cookies to take home and give away. A way to practice generosity!
