Parent Guide > The End of Sleepovers
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 End of Sleepovers" by Pamela Huber.
In "The End of Sleepovers," a Jewish girl feels uncomfortable when her Christian friend wants her to attend her church.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Friendship & Family, Growing Up, and Identity as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"What is a friend?", "What does it mean to be grown up?", and "What makes you who you are?"
