Questions in Lessons: Activity Settings in the Homes and School of Two Puerto Rican Kindergartners.

Volk, Dinah

Anthropology & Education Quarterly, v28 n1 p22-49 Mar 1997

This ethnographic study describes continuities and discontinuities between bilingual kindergarten and the homes of two Spanish-dominant Puerto Rican children. Findings highlight the complex web of continuities and discontinuities and the importance of the joint construction of a culture of teaching and learning by parents, teachers, and children.
