Body Odor

I teach an intermediate, Grade 4/5 class. I tackle this "issue" Day 1 at school. When I am talking about what they need for PE, I talk about how their bodies are changing, and as people get older, their perspiration has an| odor- and that I expect that I will smell perspiration when they get back from the gym because they all have been working so hard. I also tell them, that as young adults they need to be getting into the habit of having a shower every day - especially gym days. I talk frankly, but respectfully. At the same time I talk about needing a fresh change of clothes the next day after gym, and they | |
they are now old enough to take clothes to the hamper...etc. etc...I reinforce this often at the beginning of the year. Then, if and when I have any students who are having hygene difficulties, it can be approached as a reminder- not that they have been singled out.
