I had a difficult decision to make for class tonight, what food item to bring. Today is the Feast of the Archangels, Michael, Gabriel and Raphael so I could have made an angel food cake for that celebration. But I decided on bringing food for our lesson which was the creation story. For day 2 of creation when God separated the waters above and below the dome I gave the students a bottle of water. I don't know why but kids love to get their own bottle. On day 3 when God created the trees and all that grow on them I gave the students fruit snacks. Sweedish fish were the snack for day 5 when the swimming creatures were created. And finally on day 6 when the animals were created we had animal crackers. Michael made a Murial on the bulletin board to show God's creations. As God rested on the seventh day I am now going to rest.

Tonight we talked about books in the bible and what their abreviations are. So my treat tonight was sugar cookies with the abreviation of a book in the Old Testament. After the student found the correct book they could eat the cookie.

So today is the first day of religion and I have 15 terrific students. Father visited us in class tonight as we celebrated the nativity of Mary. My treat for class was a white cupcake (to show Mary's purity), with blue icing (to show her royalty as Queen of Heaven and Earth). Everyone enjoyed them!
