Time: 1:00pm-1:45pm
Approximate Number of Students: 50-60
Age Range: 10 - 16
My Observations:
Due to the massive amounts of students present, I will provide short dialogue and quotes.
Family and Friend References
- Where my son at?
- Don't come for my daughter like that! Older student steps into younger student argument
- Child explains to the group She is my play mother.
- She speaks such correct grammer. She speaks correctly, well- whateva. She is such a geek. That's my daughter y'all!
- Friend. Friend. Come here friend.
- Bestie!!! Let's go to the swings.
- Mommy! I missed you. (directed toward a teacher)
- Teacher response: Last time I checked, I didn't have any children.
- Student response: You know you my muva Ms. Elle
Chiding Between Students
- She be doin' too much. Actin' like she don't chew gum. We know she chew gum. I shouldn't get reflection (detention) for chewing gum. Imma sue.
- You're not going to get any money sounding like that. Say she is annoying or ridiculous.
- Where she at?
- Say where is she - you're not supposed to end with a preposition
- NIgga, you stupid
- I'm not stupid, you stupid
- Shut, up Ugly
- you uglier
- Uglier is not a word...you're the ugliest, plus infinity- now what?
- You dumb, less go play kickball
Communication through Song: Groups of students were sporadically gathered singing different rap, Go Go, R&B and gospel songs. They would also reply to one another using song lyrics as a basis for communication
Songs and artists that I overheard
Nicki Minaj - Super Bass
We Are the World (Haiti Version)
Lil Wayne - How to Love
The National Anthem
Clappas - Band, Unknown
India Arie - Beautiful
Unknown gospel songs accompanied with praise reenactments
