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
