Parent Guide > Hugo and the Seal
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 "Hugo and the Seal" by Nora Nickum.
In "Hugo and the Seal," a boy learns a lesson about friendship while caring for a seal.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Human vs. Nature and Loneliness & Isolation as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"What does it mean to feel alone?" and "How do we view nature?"
