Parent Guide > Poppy's Jalopy

This week in class, we’re reading "Poppy's Jalopy" by Caroline Pignat.

In Caroline Pignat's "Poppy's Jalopy," a speaker describes the adventures in their grandfather's car with their Poppy.

As we read, we will be discussing the theme of Beauty & Happiness as it relates to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"How can we achieve happiness?" and "How do we define beauty?"

Ways to support your child:

• Ask your child about this poem at home:
  • What was "Poppy's Jalopy" about?
  • What did you learn about Beauty & Happiness?
• Watch the following clips with your child at home:
  • 'Watch what these kids do with the power of their imaginations '
  • 'Dr Renee Clauselle Discusses How Children Can Exercise Their Brains Through Imagination '
