On December 10th I did a Powerpoint presentation for 5th grade parents regarding talking with your child about puberty changes. I thought you might be interested in previewing this, as your child may already be experiencing some of these changes.
The presentation, and handouts (which include questions about puberty asked by fifth grade students last year), as well as the puberty videos we used with 5th grade students last January have been posted. (I am hoping to find a more updated video to use in January with our current 5th graders.)
You can access all of these resources two ways:
1. Enter the Parent Portal and click the top right corner link called "Counselor's Parent Resources."
2. Follow this link:
As always, please feel free to contact me with questions or concerns. I look forward to seeing you at the parent coffee in January, where I will be sharing information with 3rd-5th grade parents about navigating the roller coaster of emotional changes during the tween years. I hope you have an enjoyable Winter Break.
Sincerely,
Melanie Clark
