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 "I'm the Library Lady" by J. Patrick Lewis.

In J. Patrick Lewis' poem "I'm the Library Lady" the speaker describes the books that readers can find at the library.

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 "I'm the Library Lady" about?
    • What did you learn about Education & Knowledge?
  • Watch Sorry (A library parody) at home with your child.
