Parent Guide > Eating in Silence
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 "Eating in Silence" by Pamela Huber.
In Pamela Huber's poem "Eating in Silence," a speaker describes making lasagna: a recipe passed down by their grandmother.
As we read, we will be discussing the theme of Friendship & Family as it relates to the text. We are trying to answer this big question :
"What makes a family?"
Ways to support your child:
-
Ask your child about this poem at home:
- What was "Eating in Silence" about?
- What did you learn about Friendship & Family?
- Watch Michael Pollan: Eating Together at home with your child.
