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 "When Maze & Frankie Beverly Come on in My House" by Clint Smith.
In "When Maze & Frankie Beverly Come on in My House," a speaker observes a tender moment between their parents while they dance together in the kitchen.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Beauty & Happiness, Friendship & Family, and Love as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How can we achieve happiness?", "What makes a family?", "How are we changed by love?", and "How does love emerge?"
