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 Weird Day with Walden" by M. Coutts (Morgan Irons).
In "The Weird Day with Walden," a boy does not know that his confusing new neighbor is actually two twin brothers.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Friendship & Family and Identity as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
