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 "(love song, with two goldfish)" by Grace Chua.

In Grace Chua's poem, "(love song, with two goldfish)," the speaker describes a love story between two goldfish in a fish bowl.

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

"How are we changed by love?" and "What does it mean to feel alone?"

Ways to support your child:

  • Ask your child about this poem at home:
    • What was "(love song, with two goldfish)" about?
    • What did you learn about Loneliness & Isolation?
    • What did you learn about Love?
  • Watch (Love Song With Two Goldfish) at home with your child.
