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 "Just Say No!" by Jennifer Barefoot.
In the informational text "Just Say No! The Daughters of Liberty," Jennifer Barefoot discusses how colonial women protested the British government.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of America, Gender Roles, and Social Change & Revolution as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
