Parent Guide > Great Splashes
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 "Great Splashes" by Joan Bone.
In "Great Splashes," a young girl and her family celebrate the Thai New Year's festival of Songkran.
As we read, we will be discussing the theme of Growing Up as it relates to the text. We are trying to answer this big question :
"What does it mean to be grown up?"
Ways to support your child:
-
Ask your child about this fiction - general at home:
- What was "Great Splashes" about?
- What did you learn about Growing Up?
- Watch Songkran Festival in Thailand 2012 (English Version) at home with your child.
