Puberty

Dear Parents,

Puberty is an inevitable phase in which everyone goes through, the transition between child and adulthood. It’s a time of many changes, both physically and emotionally. It’s a period filled with new challenges.

In the upcoming weeks, the 5th grade students will be learning about the physical, social and emotional changes related to puberty. We will also discuss other topics such as personal hygiene, healthy habits (nutrition, rest and exercise) and peer pressure. Click on the links to access the girls’ and boys’ booklets containing information that will be discussed in class.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this issue or would like to know more information about the material that will be covered in class, please contact me via email, carla.maia@graded.br or phone, 3747-4800, Ext. 429.

Sincerely,

Carla Maia

Lower School Counselor
