Parent Guide > Fire and Ice
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 "Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost.
In "Fire and Ice," a speaker ponders the different forces that could bring about the end of the world.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Education & Knowledge and Technology, Progress & Industry as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
