Abstract

ABSTRACT: This article is a collective narration of our work in a prekindergarten and its curriculum, designed to employ student choice as a connection-making mechanism. We describe a series of "boundaries, " social constructions, recognitions and physical barriers to illustrate the movement of the students within the curriculum, their negotiation of these boundaries, the meanings made, and our negotiated storytelling.
