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 "Cafeteria Craze" by Lynette Samuel.
In "Cafeteria Craze," a group of friends work together to solve a problem in their school cafeteria.As we read, we will be discussing the themes of America, Community, Identity, and Social Change & Revolution as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"What makes America unique?", "How are communities formed?", "What is the importance of community?", "What makes you who you are?", and "How do people create change?"
