Parent Guide > Saturday School
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 "Saturday School" by Lulu Delacre.
In "Saturday School," a young girl experiences a tough first day trying to learn "correct Spanish."
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Education & Knowledge, Honor & Courage, and Loneliness & Isolation as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"What does it mean to feel alone?", "What is the goal of education?", and "What does it mean to be brave?"
