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 "Stay True Hotel" by Naomi Shihab Nye.
In "Stay True Hotel," a girl who lost her mother feels open to new possibilities when she and her father move to Berlin.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Death, Friendship & Family, and Identity as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
