Weaving curriculum webs: Planning,guiding, and recording curriculum activities in the day care classroom

One Monday morning, Sandra walked into her day care classroom with a heavy box filled with rocks.

Other children quickly came over and began making comments about the colors and sizes of the rocks and about rocks they had found themselves.Diane E.
