Puberty class

So the gym teacher came up to me and said that in her health class on February, she will be teaching the puberty portion. She said if I can order somethings for the students, which I found pgprograms. (Free stuff guys!) I asked her if she needs me there and she said yes, because if they have questions I can answer them, but I'm like what should I say? When I was this age, they just separated us and told us about your periods and that's it. I don't remember much else. The nurse did answer somethings, but I don't remember how she answered.

Any advice would be great and if you guys know of other programs I can get free stuff for the kiddos I would appreciate it.

So this happened: My daughter, she's 7, and I have talked about periods and where babies come from. She knows that these topics are off limits in school. She got off the bus the other day and told me that her 5th grade friend sat with her on the bus today.

daughter: "Bella sat with me today. 5th graders usually sit in the back, but she couldn't today"

me: "why not?"

daughter: "Because she's on her period and she thinks that if a boy touches her when she's having her period, she'll get pregnant" rolls eyes

me: "Oh, my."

daughter: "She told me that I was like Oh honey, that is not how it works at all, but mommy says I'm not allowed to talk about periods, how babies are made, or the tooth fairy at school. You need to talk to your mommy!"

me: trying not to die laughing...

Maybe we should do that puberty/period discussion earlier in the year...

I'm a guardian to my niece since her mother passed away and I gave her a bit of this talk as well since she started to develop some breast (buds) and that's sometimes an indicator of it coming maybe in a few years, but not too much in detail. I did explain to her and her brother what the proper name of their body parts are and I explained to her what her period is and all that stuff.

But I explained to her that to keep this conversation is only between us and my mom because at school some kids's parents are very sensitive on these subjects and it only causes problems. She understood and just asks me random questions from time and time again about periods.

You do the males? In all 6 of our ES's, the 5th grade male teachers do it. I'm used as a backup only because they've been doing it for years. We use the pgprogram as well. The videos are pretty good and answer a lot.

I asked, we do have a male coach, but he doesn't teach health, it's the female teacher that does. So I'm not sure how things go here with this topic, but if they need me as backup I'm here.

I hate to ask, but does anyone know how long do the PG program take to bring the stuff in? It's been almost a month.

I ordered the PG stuff on 12-20 and I got mine about 2-3 weeks ago.
