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 Story of the Bad Little Boy" by Mark Twain.
Written by American author Mark Twain (1835-1910), this ironic tale centers around a badly-behaved boy who doesn't quite get what he deserves.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Justice, Freedom & Equality and Morality as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
