This week in class, we’re reading “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan.
In “Two Kinds,” a woman reminisces about the misunderstandings and conflicts that contributed to her challenging relationship with her mother.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Friendship & Family, Growing Up, and Identity as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
“What makes a family?”, “What does it mean to be grown up?”, and “What makes you who you are?”
Ways to support your child:

- What did you learn about? About Growing Up? About Identity?
- Watch the following clips with your child at home:
