What do you want to do when you grow up?

What faraway places do you want to visit?

How will you leave the world a better place?


These three questions are posed in Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney. For family homework, sit down with your child and dream about the faraway places you and your child want to visit. Can you find it on a map? What will you do there? What do you want to do to make the world a better place? Help your child make a poster or drawing of each of these images. And remember, there are no dreams that are too small. If you do these fun activities with your child, it will enhance their learning and make it more meaningful. Home
