Parent Guide > Wild Geese
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 "Wild Geese" by Mary Oliver.
In "Wild Geese," the speaker suggests ways for the reader to find happiness as well as their place in the world.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Beauty & Happiness, Human vs. Nature, and Morality as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How can we achieve happiness?", "How do we view nature?", and "What is good and how do we know?"
