Workshops for Children in Grades K-1

Our Whole Lives: Sexuality Education for Grades K-1, can help you educate your child about bodies, gender, boundaries, families, conception, birth, and babies. You will be actively involved as your child learns through songs, stories, activities and at-home projects that promote family dialogue.

About the Grade K-1 Course

The eight, hour-long workshops in Our Whole Lives: Sexuality Education for Grades K-1, help children ages five through seven begin the lifelong process of acquiring information and forming attitudes and values about identity, relationships, safety, and health.

​

This class offers expansive ways of addressing gender identity and roles, sexual orientation, race, and ability. Activities, songs, and movement breaks keep young children interested and energized.

 

Children learn that babies begin with an egg, sperm, uterus, and someone to care for them, with several options for how those combinations may occur.

 

Parents receive support for sharing their own family’s conception story at home.

 

New illustrations and book recommendations feature children and families of diverse races, cultures, and orientations. Updated HomeLinks offer a workshop summary, at-home conversation starters and activities.

​

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.
