Dear Parent/Guardian:
Next week we will begin a unit on
Health and Career Education about puberty.
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the topics that will be
covered.
It is our belief that you as
parents/guardians play the most significant role in the formation of your
children’s values and behaviours related to human growth and development. This unit offers you the chance to discuss
the classroom lessons and to consider them in view of your own family and
religious beliefs.
This unit covers the following
areas:
¨
Accurately describe the physical changes that
occur during puberty as a stage in the human life cycle and a transition from
childhood to adolescence.
¨
With teacher support describe the predictable
physical changes that occur at puberty and early adolescence in girls and boys.
¨
Demonstrate an awareness that the physical
changes of puberty happen at different rates and times for different people.
Should you have any concerns or
if you would like further information about this unit I can be reached at the
school at 837-4744.
Respectfully,
Ms. Sue Leach
Grade 5 Teacher
