Parent Guide > The Crow and the Pitcher
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 "The Crow and the Pitcher" by Aesop.
In this fable of Aesop, a thirsty crow is desperate for a drink of water.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Fate & Free Will and Resilience & Success as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How does a person overcome adversity?", "Why do people succeed?", and "Can we control our fate?"
Ways to support your child:
-
