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 "Volar" by Judith Ortiz Cofer.
In "Volar," Judith Ortiz Cofer recalls a childhood dream about becoming Supergirl and flying.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Growing Up and Identity as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
