This week in class, we’re reading "The Children's Hour" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Longfellow's poem "The Children's Hour" describes the life of the poet's own three daughters.
As we read, we will be discussing the theme of Growing Up as it relates to the text. We are trying to answer this big question :
"Why should we value our youth?"
Ways to support your child:

Ask your child about this poem at home:
- What was "The Children's Hour" about?
- What did you learn about Growing Up?
- Watch The Children's Hour' - Audio Recording at home with your child.
