Parent Guide > Emergency on the Mountain
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 "Emergency on the Mountain" by Kerry McGee.
In Kerry McGee's short story "Emergency on the Mountain," a girl studying medicine helps a boy when there is an accident.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Community, Education & Knowledge, and Growing Up as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"What is the importance of community?", "What is the goal of education?", and "What does it mean to be grown up?"
