Parent Guide > Snow White
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 "Snow White" by The Brothers Grimm.
In the Brothers Grimm's classic tale "Snow White," a beautiful girl flees to escape a jealous queen.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Beauty & Happiness, Fate & Free Will, and Morality as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"Why do people do bad things?", "Can we control our fate?", and "How do we define beauty?"
