This document serves as a guide for you as you teach puberty and healthy sexuality classes to grades 5 and 6. Each lesson has "Key Facts" for the teacher, discussion topics, student activities and challenging questions. There are also diagrams, handouts, and resources located in the appendix of this package. The lessons are designed to be used with both grade 5 and grade 6 students. This can act as much needed review for the grade sixes.
