Creation Story

We begin the book of Genesis with the story of creation.  The creation story should remind us that God made man in His image and likeness and that he made all things good.  God also says we need to be good stewards of creation.
On the 3d day of creation God commanded, "Let the earth produce all kinds of plants, those that bear grain and those that bear fruit."  So I have fruit and vegetables for a snack.  On the 5th day God commanded, "Let the water be filled with many kinds of living beings...", so I have gummy fish and whales for the students.  On the 6th day God commanded, "Let the earth produce all kinds of animal life...", so another treat is animal crackers.
