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 "Calady's Quest" by Teresa Bateman.

In "Calady's Quest," a young girl goes on an adventure to help her family.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Friendship & Family and Love as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"How does love emerge?" and "What makes a family?"

Ways to support your child:

  • Ask your child about this piece of fantasy at home:
    • What was "Calady's Quest" about?
    • What did you learn about Friendship & Family?
    • What did you learn about Love?
  • Watch Have Courage and Be Fearless at home with your child.
