Family Life Education

Fifth grade is when you start sex ed in our school district. So this week Jim and I went to the Family Life Curriculum Preview for Drew's class. All in all the curriculum looks great and is well planned out starting with basic concepts in 5th grade and increasing the complexity thru 7th grade.

We are a pretty open and liberal family so the nite of the meeting, we were all having dinenr and discussing that we were going and is there anything Drew wanted us to find out at the meeting....I am thinking things like..... who exactly is teaching it, when will it start, are the boys going to be in the same room with the girsl? etc. He says there is nothing he wants to know.

But then Gracie raises her hand and, very matter of factly, wants us to find out what "balls" are! I respond, very matter of factly" that we already know what those are....they are called testicles. She said "oh, ok" and went back to eating her dinner! Jim and Drew just roll their eyes!

She is a crazy little girl!
