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 Way With Words" by Michelle Obama.
In "A Way With Words," Michelle Obama interviews Amanda Gorman about her poem "The Hill We Climb."
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Growing Up, Honor & Courage, and Resilience & Success as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
