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 "The Attack on Pearl Harbor" by National Park Service.
"The Attack on Pearl Harbor" discusses the events leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor, as well as the extent of the damage inflicted on the naval base.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of America, Death, Honor & Courage, and War & Peace as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How has America changed over time?", "How do people face death?", "How are we changed by war?", and "What does it mean to be brave?"
