Parent Guide > Birdfoot's Grampa

This week in class, we’re reading "Birdfoot's Grampa" by Joseph Bruchac.

In Joseph Bruchac's poem "Birdfoot's Grampa," a speaker describes driving down a road that is crowded with toads.

As we read, we will be discussing the theme of Morality as it relates to the text. We are trying to answer this big question :

"What is good and how do we know?"

Ways to support your child:

• Ask your child about this poem at home:
  • What was "Birdfoot's Grampa" about?
  • What did you learn about Morality?
• Watch the following clips with your child at home:
  • 'Five Crazy Bridges for Animals '
  • 'Thousands of tiny western toads prompt road closures in Whistler, B.C'
  • 'Kids talk about saving wildlife '
