Parent Guide > Window Seat
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 "Window Seat" by Molly McGinnis.
In Molly McGinnis' poem "Window Seat," a speaker describes looking out a window on an airplane.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Education & Knowledge, Fate & Free Will, and Identity as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"What makes you who you are?", "Can we control our fate?", and "How do we understand the world around us?"
Ways to support your child:
