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 "All Saints' Day at Night" by Linda Rae Apolzon.

In Linda Rae Apolzon's short story "All Saints' Day at Night," a boy is afraid to go to the cemetery at night for All Saints Day. 

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Death and Friendship & Family as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"How do people face death?" and "What makes a family?"

Ways to support your child:

  • Ask your child about this short story at home:
    • What was "All Saints' Day at Night" about?
    • What did you learn about Death?
    • What did you learn about Friendship & Family?
  • Watch Poland in Your Pocket-All Saint's Day at home with your child.
