Parent Guide > At A Window
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 "At A Window" by Carl Sandburg.
In this poem, a desperate speaker begs the gods to deliver someone to love.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Loneliness & Isolation and Love as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How are we changed by love?" and "What does it mean to feel alone?"
Ways to support your child:
