This week in class, we’re reading “The Gift of The Magi” by O. Henry.
“The Gift of a Magi” is a classic Christmas story about love, sacrifice, and generosity.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Friendship & Family, Love, and Power & Greed as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
“How does love emerge?”, “Does money buy happiness?”, and “What makes a family?”
Ways to support your child:
- Ask your child about this short story at home:
- What was “The Gift of The Magi” about?
- What did you learn about? About Love? About Power & Greed?
- Watch The Gift of the Magi’ from O’Henry’s Full House (1952) at home with your child.
