Parent Guide > Welcome to the Underworld
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 "Welcome to the Underworld" by Michael A. Signal.
In Michael A. Signal's "Welcome to the Underworld," Hermes, the messenger of the gods, takes readers on a tour of the Underworld.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Death, Education & Knowledge, and Morality as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How do people face death?", "What is good and how do we know?", and "How do we understand the world around us?"
Ways to support your child:

- What was "Welcome to the Underworld" about?
- What did you learn about Death?
- What did you learn about Education & Knowledge?
- What did you learn about Morality?
