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 "Border Kid" by David Bowles.
In "Border Kid," a boy spends a special Saturday with his father in a Mexican border town.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Education & Knowledge and Identity as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
