We know that we have some targeted units and we will continue to offer those targeted units in the 4th and 5th grade. Some of those include human growth and development as well as some of the substance abuse prevention lessons. We want to make sure that our students have what they need as they move forward into middle school. Those lessons will be the same lessons that they have always taught through the Great Body Shop.
