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 Keys of Destiny" by Neil Philip.

"The Keys of Destiny" is the 1001 story from the classic collection One Thousand and One Nights. In this story, a woman tells a king a story about how a man came to be imprisoned due to the greed of others.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Fate & Free Will and Power & Greed as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"Does money buy happiness?" and "Can we control our fate?"
