Health

HEALTH begins in September with "Social-Emotional Learning", followed by four more units throughout the year: 

• healthy eating; 

• personal safety and injury prevention; 

• substance use, addictions, and related behaviours; 

•  human development and sexual health. 

These topics have been chosen because they are fundamentally connected to students’ daily lives. Concepts tied to mental health and emotional well-being are woven throughout all content areas across all grades. 

OH MY GOSH!  MY KID IS LEARNING SEX-ED!

One of the Health Units I teach is called "Human Development and Sexual Health", and I teach directly from the Ontario Curriculum.  Students will be discussing material from their grade-level, and possibly from grade levels below their own.

In in curriculum (posted below), go to your child's grade and find "Strand D: Healthy Living" for a more detailed look at what is included.
