Puberty and development classes are starting in grade 5. During our counseling lessons, we will spend the next two weeks discussing the physical, emotional, and social changes that occur during puberty. We will also discuss other topics such as personal hygiene, stress, exercise, healthy eating, and peer pressure.
The curriculum used is developed in Canada by the Ministry of Education and is developmentally appropriate for your child's age and grade. Depending on the lesson, boys and girls will either be instructed together or by separate sex. The people facilitating these lessons are Ms. Heidi, Mr. Boisjoli, and Ms. Bobbie.
We encourage you to ask your child what they are discussing and learning at home. Though it can be a topic that feels odd to discuss at times, it is important to show your child you are open to supporting him/her and the questions that she/he may have about puberty and development.
Thank you for the ongoing support and be well.
Ms. Heidi
