Parent Guide > Good Hours
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 "Good Hours" by Robert Frost.
In "Good Hours," the speaker stays out too long on an evening winter walk.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Education & Knowledge and Loneliness & Isolation as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How do we understand the world around us?" and "What does it mean to feel alone?"
