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 "Mountains" by Rukiye Henderson.
In Rukiye Henderson's poem, "Mountains," the speaker describes the beauty of tall mountains.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Beauty & Happiness and Human vs. Nature as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
