Parent Guide > Seeking a Hidden Hive
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 "Seeking a Hidden Hive" by Jocelyn Rish.
In Jocelyn Rish's short story "Seeking a Hidden Hive," a small boy and his grandfather are led to a beehive by a bird to collect honeycomb.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Honor & Courage and Human vs. Nature as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"Who's in control: humanity or nature?" and "What does it mean to be brave?"
