Parent Guide > Walnuts and Watermelons
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 "Walnuts and Watermelons" by Mehded Maryam Sinclair.
In Mehded Maryam Sinclair's short story "Walnuts and Watermelons" a man doesn't understand why the world was created a certain way.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Education & Knowledge and Human vs. Nature as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"Who's in control: humanity or nature?" and "How do we understand the world around us?"
Ways to support your child:
-
Ask your child about this folktale at home:
- What was "Walnuts and Watermelons" about?
- What did you learn about Education & Knowledge?
- What did you learn about Human vs. Nature?
- Watch The Oak and the Reed | Aesop's Fables | PINKFONG Story Time for Children at home with your child.
