Blood Vessels and the World
At our school we have been having a wonderful education about our body. Kayla, Arna, and Sarah from IN and KY have been using a variety of all kinds of everyday items to show us how the body works. As I'm writing this, I'm sitting in the Assembly room and the children are learning about the digestive system.
Kayla just asked them what they learned about yesterday – the heart and blood. It was amazing what they remembered. One of the things that surprised all of us is that if you put your blood vessels end to end there would be enough to go around the world 2 ½ times. One of the questions was, "Even to the US?" We learned that the blood is red when it leaves the heart because it has oxygen, and it is blue when it returns to the heart – all the oxygen is gone into the body.
Today we were all surprised to learn how long our small intestine. The children are great listeners and remember many of the things they are hearing, and asking great questions.

Kathleen,
I just read all the blogs and have been blessed by all the you are involved in. I'm so glad that Calvary will be a part of helping to fill another container that you can use. Any chance of seeing pictures of what the women in your group make? Thanks for your good writing. Blessings! Joyce Johnson
