Parent Guide > Jumping Over Boundaries
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 "Jumping Over Boundaries" by Linda Alvarado.
In "Jumping Over Boundaries," Linda Alvarado explains how her experience with inequality in elementary school impacts her today.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Gender Roles, Justice, Freedom & Equality, Resilience & Success, and Social Change & Revolution as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"What is fair?", "How do we define the roles of men and women?", "How does a person overcome adversity?", and "How do people create change?"
