Students preparing for February's Book Club may be wondering....

Anatomy Coloring Book Club
The Building Blocks of Life
By Arabella Kling, Age 12
Last Saturday, Nurse Jill taught about the cell. You can see which pages students colored by looking at this weekβs Student Spotlight. The students colored their coloring sheets and learned about the building block of life- the cell. The class colored vesicles, ribosomes, mitochondria, and all the other organelles that make up our cells.
Looking for a weekend class? Nurse Jillβs Anatomy Coloring Book Club is great for students who attend school during the week, as well as busy home-schooled students. You can put your students in this class to learn about the human body through coloring! Join before you miss anything cool, and donβt forget your colored pencils!
