Puberty Lessons October 24-28

Next week, 4th grade girls and all 5th graders will be participating in a puberty lesson as part of their PE classes. (4th grade boys will only be watching a video and discussing personal hygiene).

Topics for the 4th grade girls are female changes during puberty, basic anatomy, menstruation, emotional changes, and hygiene/personal care.

5th grade students learn about both male and female changes during puberty, basic anatomy, menstruation, hygiene/personal care, and emotional changes. They watch the same video, but we do separate boys and girls to watch the video. The 5th graders have a follow up class later in the week to have further discussion and ask questions.

 If you would like to preview the video and the information that is covered, please join us Tuesday, October 18 for a parent preview night.  We will be meeting in the library.
