Grade 4 began their Human Sexuality module. The notice that has been signed and returned is below. If you have asked that your child not participate in the classes, they are working on other work during these lessons in another classroom. Please let us know if you have any questions.

During the months of February and March, Grade 4 will take part in a one/two week Human Sexuality module. Students in Grades Four will be examining how individuals’ interests, abilities, emotions, and bodies change during the pre-adolescent and adolescent years. These students will look specifically at the physical, emotional and social changes that occur during puberty.

The following are the learning outcomes of the Human Sexuality component of the Alberta Health and Life Skills curriculum: 

Grade 4

W-4.3 Describe physical, emotional and social changes that occur during puberty: e.g., menstruation, secondary sexual characteristics, changing identity and moods.
