On Teaching Baha'i Children's Classes: Hannah Bahiyyih is Outstanding on the Standing Rock

HannahBahiyyih (love the name!) of Hannahxhannah is beginning a two year commitment serving on the Standing Rock Reservation, South Dakota USA. -gw

Every Sunday the Baha'i community of McLaughlin hosts regular children's classes with three age levels of some 18 kids. I got to be with the 5-6 year olds this time and learn about truthfullness.This week I will begin to visit the children, and with permission from their parents, conduct smaller chilrens classes in or around their homes. Having a children's class in the home of the children gives me a chance to work with each child one on one to learn about their specific needs while at the same time meeting their parents and giving their parnets a chance to get involved with the classes. The class will consist of a simple 15- min art project with a lesson about a virtue. If at any time the children loose intrest I will not push them to finish, but continue to spend time with them, playing and talking.
