Community ethnography study: Mary Todd elementary 5th grade class By: Kenzie Spring
demographics • Mary Todd is filled with a diverse group of children. • There are 410 children enrolled for this school year. • 157 kids are White, 154 are African-American, 82 Hispanic, 2 Asian, and 13 are of other races.
Purpose • I want to look deeper into this community to bring out the good in it. • I’m interested to see if the students are aware of their own community, the community I am looking at them from. • I want to find out if the rumors of this “poor” school are true. • Mainly, I want to branch out and learn something about myself as I am looking to find out more about this community of children and teachers.
Future research • I hope to learn why the teachers chose to teach there. • Do the kids like and appreciate the community? • What is it like to work with these children? • I want to learn more about the academics of this school. • Interested to see the point of view from a teacher perspective, student, and hopefully principal.
