Human Body unit finished!

We've been working in our homeschool on a human body unit for the first 2/3rds of the school year. We finished them a few weeks ago, and finally decided to take photos before taking them down. It was lots of fun to cut and tape body parts where they belong and learn about all the various bodily systems. The kids did a great job on them, and we hated to have them go away, but we have had them up in our windows since September! It was time to say goodbye to our paper friends.


Caleb and his "friend"...

 The pictures were taken on a very sunny day, and it was hard to correct the contrast. But we get the idea!

"I'm next to her, Mom..."

 Ok, I'll smile...

"I'll hold her hand..."


1 Corinthians 12:12-27

Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.

Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.  If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?  But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be?  As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty,  while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
