As part of D26’s Human Growth and Development curriculum a Puberty Unit is taught during 4th and 5th grade. Classroom instruction is provided by the school nurse and Candor Health under the supervision of the classroom teacher. The purpose of this unit is to teach students facts about their bodies and prepare them for the up and coming changes they soon will encounter during their journey through puberty. As this is the first formal school guided introduction to gender specific changes, boys and girls will receive separate classroom instruction for portions. The following are guidelines for things that will be covered.
