GRADE 7 Unit 1 Entering the Teen Years Lesson 10: Setting a Positive Goal

GRADE 8/9 Sexual Health unit begins. Please pace yourself to complete lessons before the week of April 7th.

Sexual Health:  January 26 - April 7 (8 weeks)
Each Grade 8/9 TAG teacher should now have a copy of the white sexual health binder as well as a package that was put into each mailbox.  

Please take the time to look over the package that went into your mailbox on Friday.  You will note that we are NOT going to deliver every lesson in the binders.  Instead, we are going to focus on the lessons that address the prescribed learning outcomes while recognizing the the Lion's Quest curriculum covers many of the lessons related to healthy relationships.

I will post links to helpful websites on the right hand side of the blog.  Please take a few minutes to look at www.teachingsexualhealth.ca  This is the source of our lessons.  Here you can also find additional helpful materials.

Check out the list at the bottom of this post for theme day ideas.
