Everybody Loves Their Body

This is Miriam. We decided she looks rather like Dora the Explorer with the hair thing going on.


And this one is Philip. I thought he did a great job with his face!


This is JT's loooong skinny body. His body was too long for the organ templates we were using so his parts are bit disjointed..
Here is John Michael on the left and Betsy on the right. John's body would be troublesome to any serious student of anatomy but I think Betsy has hers together fairly well.

Ben's at the bottom.

I have a lot of catching up to do! We finished this homeschool project a couple of weeks ago. We did this once before when the bigs were Betsy and Ruth's age and so I thought it could use a refresher for the bigs and the littles would get something out of it as well. We traced all of their bodies on large newsprint paper and then each day we studied a new organ, colored it, cut it out and glued it onto the appropriate spot on our bodies. John Michael decided to join in but his spots aren't always appropriate...the liver he had glued to his right hand seems to have fallen off as well as the body part he had in his left armpit. But, hey, he got to "sticky" with the rest of them!

Hmmm....I seem to have misplaced Ruth's body. It's probably standing somewhere and forgotten to move...
