Parent Guide > Hearing Hoofbeats
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 "Hearing Hoofbeats" by Pamela Love.
In "Hearing Hoofbeats," a young girl learns a valuable lesson about taking care of the horses on her family's farm.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Growing Up and Human vs. Nature as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
