Parent Guide > A Fishy Christmas
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "A Fishy Christmas" by Charlotte Blessing.
In "A Fishy Christmas," a young boy's family and local community help rescue a fisherman who is lost at sea.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Community, Honor & Courage, and Human vs. Nature as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"What is the importance of community?", "What does it mean to be brave?", and "Who's in control: humanity or nature?"
Ways to support your child:
