Dear Family,
We are ready to begin Theme Three of Fully Alive, our family life program. Because the partnership of home, church, and school is so important, this letter is written to let you know what we talk about in class, and to offer some ideas for your involvement. For more information, please go to www.occb.on.ca.
About Theme Three
Theme Three of Fully Alive is called “Created Sexual: Male and Female.” God made us male and female, and all of God’s creation is good. In earlier grades, this theme was presented through a continuing story, which emphasized God’s plan for new life as the result of the love of mothers and fathers. In later grades, the message is unchanged, but the approach is more direct. As students enter puberty, they need to know about the changes they will experience, and about the responsibilities of being created male and female and following God’s plan for them.
In Theme Three we will:
• explore the idea that we do not have bodies, we are bodies; God created us as body/spirit persons. • consider the major systems of the body, and learn that the reproductive system has unique characteristics. • learn about the adult female and male reproductive systems and about human fertility in adult women and men. • discuss the physical changes of puberty, as well as some of the emotional and social changes.
