Pocket treasures and magical unicorns: The persistence of story in a time of pandemic

What does it mean to be an early childhood teacher in a time of pandemic? Which stories remain constant in our profession and which are lost to the hand of physical distance? This narrative inquiry explores the persistent role of story in the creation of the body of the classroom community, and the sustaining of a practice of an early childhood teacher. Through narratives, one teacher explores the stories emerging in her classroom in the fall of 2020, and how, through narrative, community both evolves and retains the pervasive stories of early childhood.
