Workshops for Children in Grades 5-6
This program is designed for groups comprised of Grades 4- 5 OR Grades 5-6, or any of these grades individually. We will be offering a workshop for students in Grades 5-6.
Our Whole Lives: Sexuality Education for Grades 4-6, helps children learn about and discuss the physical, emotional changes, and social changes of puberty. Parents and caregivers can be actively involved in the exploration of growing older, values, communication and decision making.
About the Grade 5-6 Course
In ten 75-minute workshops, OWL models and teaches caring, compassion, respect, and justice.
It helps children in Grades 5-6 understand the physical and emotional changes of puberty.
Participants explore values, communication and decision making, as well as physical health and development.
A Word Bank reinforces new terms and definitions related to sexuality and puberty.
​
OWL is a secular (non-religious) curriculum.
What is the Cost?
We want the class to be accessible for all families. Workshops are offered on a free-will offering basis.
Required books will be offered during the session duration for a deposit of $50, which will be returned at the end of session. Alternatively, families may purchase the required texts for their personal libraries.
