Parent Guide > After Hours in Kindergarten

This week in class, we’re reading "After Hours in Kindergarten" by Kim Roberts.

In Kim Roberts' poem "After Hours in Kindergarten," a speaker describes looking at art projects for during a school's geography week.

As we read, we will be discussing the theme of Education & Knowledge as it relates to the text. We are trying to answer this big question :

"What is the goal of education?"

Ways to support your child:

• Ask your child about this poem at home:
  • What was "After Hours in Kindergarten" about?

• Watch the following clips with your child at home:
