Parent Guide > Thanksgiving at the Lake
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 "Thanksgiving at the Lake" by Megan Hoyt.
In "Thanksgiving at the Lake," the speaker of this Shakespearean sonnet reflects on the important role of fathers.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Education & Knowledge, Friendship & Family, and Love as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How do we understand the world around us?", "What makes a family?", and "How are we changed by love?"
