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 "Dreams" by Linda Pastan.
In Linda Pastan's "Dreams," the speaker uses figurative language to discuss dreams.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Growing Up and Loneliness & Isolation as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
