Created Sexual

As we integrate Health and Family Life (part of our Religion program), we have been working through our unit titled:  Created Sexual.  We have discussed the male and female reproductive systems, menstruation, puberty, conception and the development of a new human life, heredity, twins, and determining gender, all from the perspective of our Catholic faith.  It has been stressed that marriage happens before children are conceived, and that couples live together only after marriage.  Our class handled this very well and had some great questions.  Our discussions do not replace those that must be held at home with parents. If you were looking for a segue to this topic - here it is!
