Dear Parents,
Next week we will begin the CHANGES IN YOU CURRICULUM. This instructional program was developed to help young people understand the physical, social and emotional changes of puberty. The program uses beautiful, realistic-looking black and white pencil illustrations. The information is presented using simply-worded explanations.
This class will be taught in separate sex classes so that students will be comfortable asking questions. However, boys and girls will be given information about the changes in puberty experienced by the other sex.
There are two books that go along with the curriculum which use the same illustrations and text as the actual picture cards. The books are CHANGES IN YOU for girls and CHANGES IN YOU for boys. Also, each book comes with a parent guide which includes specific thoughts and suggestions that go along with this program. Each book will give you an idea of what topics will be covered in the class and how they will be discussed. The books are ideal for you to read with your child. If you would like to borrow one or both of these books please let me know. They are also easy to purchase if you would like your own copy. I have ordering information as well.
I am excited about the opportunity to share this very special information with your child. This curriculum offers a very positive and practical approach to introducing sexuality education. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the program please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Teacher
