Verse:
- Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. I Corinthians 12:27
- 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself. Luke 10:27
"The Skin You Live In" by Michael Tyler
In class we...
- had a room change because someone threw up. We learned first hand that vomiting is a component of the digestive and muscular system - amongst other things. At the end of this impromptu discussion, it was so encouraging to hear one student conclude "....and we are wonderfully made!"
- had a contest in class. Two teams "White Lightening" and "The Disney Kings" battled it out over anatomy. There were two levels of questions: easy and difficult. The teams whizzed by the easy questions and with a bit of deliberation every difficult question was correctly answered. It was a very close game, and each student won the grand prize a "Wonderfully Made" t-shirt.
- briefly learned some basics about our skin - the organ that keeps everything contained.
- learned that there are 3 layers: epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous layer
- sloughed off some of our dead skin cells, since we learned that we constantly have new cells growing
- learned that melanin gives skin its color
- appreciated the differences in our skin by looking closely at photographs of our own faces
- cut out the photographs of our faces and taped it on our body
- were reminded again that we are ALL wonderfully made and are ONE in the body of Christ - regardless of our anatomy.
