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 "Christmas Trees" by Robert Frost.
In "Christmas Trees," a speaker who lives in the country receives a visit from a man who lives in the city and is interested in buying some of his trees to sell as Christmas trees.As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Human vs. Nature and Power & Greed as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How do we view nature?" and "Does money buy happiness?"
