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 "Serving with the Women's Army Corps" by Veterans History Project.
In this interview, Wilma Hugunin discusses her experiences serving in the Women's Army Corps during WWII.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Gender Roles and War & Peace as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How do we define the roles of men and women?" and "How are we changed by war?"
