Over the course of the remaining weeks, our class will explore a few topics that fit under the umbrella of sexual health. Lessons are drawn from an inclusive curriculum approved by the district, and will be supplemented by videos and books to personalize the content for my particular students. The curriculum is based on Oregon health education standards and requirements. Topics to be addressed in class are appropriate for 9-11 year olds. Next year, the fifth grade classes at Grout will explore each topic (and a few additional topics) more fully. Our short study this Spring will include:
Puberty
Personal health, including hygiene, nutrition and exercise
Gender identity
Discussion will take place in a climate respectful and supportive of all students. For this reason, students will not be separated by gender or gender identity.
Portland Public Schools acknowledges that parents and guardians are the primary sexuality eductators for for their children. If you would like to exclude your child from these lessons, send a note to school.
