Parent Guide > I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

This week in class, we’re reading "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" by William Wordsworth.

In William Wordsworth's poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud," the speaker describes seeing a field of daffodils.

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

"Who's in control: humanity or nature?", "What does it mean to feel alone?", and "How do we define beauty?"

Ways to support your child:

• Ask your child about this poem at home:
