My 6th graders gather around the table in excitement to see what lesson I have planned for them today.  I choose three volunteers and ask each one to make something specific: one a tree, one a pencil, and one a table.  The other children gather around telling them how to do it.  The class then sits down and I ask the question: the pencil and table are made from wood which comes from the tree, but who made the tree?  Their answer: God did!  Right answer!  I then begin our lesson on Creation… “In the beginning, God made the heavens and the earth….God saw everything He had made and said it was very good.”
