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 "An Honest Mistake" by Karen Meissner.

In "An Honest Mistake," a young girl learns an important lesson about telling the truth.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Justice, Freedom & Equality and Morality as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

    • What did you learn about Justice, Freedom & Equality?
    • What did you learn about Morality?
