  Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
   
   In this elementary level human anatomy class, (K-2 and 3-5), we give God our creator the glory for our wonderful human bodies. Therefore, our foundational scripture is Psalms 139:14 I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made - - - and throughout the semester course, students will explore the wonders of basic human anatomy and will engage in various fun tasks (bean bag organ toss game..) and hands-on experiences related to the human organ systems (cardiovascular, skeletal). For example, we make (fake) human blood using cranberry juice for the plasma, mini white marshmallows for the white blood cells, craisins for the platelets, etc) and we also make (fake) human mucus (or use slime if there are severe allergies) to facilitate learning the purposes of the mucosal linings in the human body. The first class begins with each student constructing a life-size paper replica of themselves to which various human paper organisms will be colored, cut out and adhered as the units on each organ are covered. Additionally, relevant scriptures are shared weekly that aid in the study of the various organs and organ systems. The instructor will need to know if your child has any food allergies before the blood and mucus units are covered approximately one month or so into the class schedule. There is also a weekly musical element in which students move their fearfully and wonderfully made muscles in praise to God. Parents are invited to join us anytime for they are ALSO fearfully and wonderfully made as well.
   
  Instructor: Jacobsen, Doreen
  Instructor Bio:
  I am Doreen Jacobsen and my passion is to to creatively interact and teach younger children. I have taught first grade for several years in Detroit and substitute taught kindergarten through fifth grade before that. I have18 grad level credits towards my Masters Degree but raised kids instead of finishing that pursuit. I especially enjoy teaching almost any subject in which I can make learning stimulating and FUN !!! I especially love teaching my interactive geography class, AROUND THE WORLD, because I believe God has used so much creativity and diversity (not to mention humor ) in creating all the peoples and nations of His world, my personal favorite. My "FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY MADE" human anatomy class ( not available now) is personally motivating as well, and the students seem to get a lot out of that class too. BRAIN GAMES helps me keep my mental faculties young as your children and I enjoy stimulaing exercises for our minds. Above all, though, I love inviting the person of Christ into our classroom so that HE receives the glory for all learning and prized relationships that form as I also learn from these beautiful, young, and intelligent kids. Parents are always welcome to join us in the learning process too, pop in any time.
