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 "Trix Versus the Giant Sky Raisin (A Central Acre Park Adventure)" by Jestine Ware.
In "Trix Versus the Giant Sky Raisin (A Central Park Adventure)," a miniature horse learns about how technology is used to protect endangered animals.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Community, Education & Knowledge, Human vs. Nature, Social Change & Revolution, and Technology, Progress & Industry as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"What is the importance of community?", "How do we understand the world around us?", "How do we view nature?", "How do people create change?", "Who's in control: humanity or nature?", "What are the costs and benefits of technology?", and "What should the future look like?"
