"He, verily, shall increase the reward of them that endure with patience." Baháʼu'lláh

Let us start our lesson saying some prayers and continue to work on memorizing "O my Lord! O my Lord! I am a child of tender years."

Patience is one of the most important qualities we can have. Without patience it is very hard to do much in this life. We need to have patience when we are studying, when we are working, in our friendships with others, and in our efforts to grow our spiritual qualities. Not all things in life can be done quickly. Many things can only be done little by little, day by day. When we practice patience, we do not try to rush those things that need time. We need to be patient with others and ourselves, because we are all learning and growing. Patience is a superhero power that can help us with many things in life.

"He, verily, shall increase the reward of them that endure with patience."

Crystal Flower Science Project

It’s fun to observe chemical reactions and you will have to have patience waiting for the crystal flowers to form.

*You will need an adult to assist you with this project to ensure your safety.*

Crystal flower science is pretty cool! It’s all about suspension of molecules, but this is beyond us right now. Get the full science information from Steve Spangler. It’s pretty neat! Here are a couple of videos to with instructions and examples of crystal shapes you can make.

Find the Starter

Choose one child to go out of the group. While he or she is gone, the rest of the class picks another child to be “the starter”. All the children then follow the actions of the leader. For example, if he or she claps, everyone else does the same. If he or she starts waving good-bye, so do all the others. The one who was sent out must look carefully and try to discover who the leader is. At the same time, the others are careful not to look at the leader too closely or too much, which would make it easy for him or her to be identified by the one searching.
