Parent Guide > Garden Invasion (A Central Acre Park Adventure)

This week in class, we’re reading "Garden Invasion (A Central Acre Park Adventure)" by Jestine Ware.

In "Garden Invasion (A Central Acre Park Adventure)," a miniature horse named Trix learns about invasive and native species of plants.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Education & Knowledge and Human vs. Nature as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"How do we understand the world around us?" and "How do we view nature?"

Ways to support your child:

• Ask your child about this piece of fantasy at home:
  • What was "Garden Invasion (A Central Acre Park Adventure)" about?
  • What did you learn about Education & Knowledge?
  • What did you learn about Human vs. Nature?
• Watch the following clips with your child at home:
  • 'What's the Difference Between Fruits and Vegetables?'
  • 'Wicked Plants: Weeds of Mass Destruction'
  • '5 Weeds in Every Garden That are Actually Edible & Delicious!'
