Blood and Guts

"Miss Farlin! My frog just blinked!"

Today we got to dissect frogs and fish as a part of the Biology curriculum. The students always enter into the process with fear and trepidation.  But at the end they are proud of their accomplishments. One student looked like he could conquer the world since he conquered his fear of blood.

The frog's hearts were still beating--a cool thing to watch while appreciating the rhythm that God put into living beings. I learned to better identify the kidneys in a fish--specifically in bangus or milk fish.

I'm super thankful for our school janitor who prepared cardboard cutting boards ahead of time, caught the frogs for us even in this dry hot season, and cleaned our classroom up afterwards. His help makes the whole process so much more enjoyable.
