Dear 6th graders,
We're starting our lesson on puberty and sexual development tomorrow. If you could keep the giggles/roaring laughter to a minimum when I say things like "penis" and "vagina" that would be grrrrreat.
On a sidenote: I feel weird teaching this lesson to you guys when one of you is already knocked up. It's a little too late for you, missy.
Just trying to get through this in one piece,

I love those classes - the kids were always more embarassed than I could ever be! I even remember when I taught 5th grade science my first year of teaching and I insisted the students pronounce Uranus with the long 'a' since I'd never heard it called anything else. It was kind of like going to the Vagina Monologues and working out the word as a group until we were totally over the weirdness. So... how's it been going?
