Exploring God's Creations: 6 Days in one school year - God's intricate designs can be found in all His creations. In this year long class, you will learn through doing. We will explore what God created each of the six days of creation and spend a month or more on each. For example, on Day 4 when He made the sun, moon, and stars, He crafted them perfectly so they would be suspended just right for humans to live on His beautiful earth. We learn about this in the Bible! (Teacher: Burton)
