Dear Families,
Spring is a time of year when there are many changes in nature. The fourth grade teachers use this natural opportunity to tie into the physical changes in people. On Friday, May 25th each fourth grade classroom will separate their students into groups of boys and girls. We will use this time and this format to show a video and hold a discussion on the changes the students can expect to go through as they mature.
The district curriculum committee and the school board have approved the videos. The videos focus on the benefits of proper personal hygiene, i.e.; brushing your teeth, washing your body, and getting enough rest. The videos also mention body functions and what to expect as we develop and mature. Both videos are meant to encourage personal responsibility and the positive effects of making healthy choices.
If you are interested in viewing the girl’s film, it will be available for you to watch in our media center on Monday, May 21st from 2:20 - 3:00 P.M. If you are interested in reading a script of the boy’s video, contact your child’s teacher and one will be provided for you. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your child’s teacher.
Sincerely,
The Fourth Grade Staff
