I decided to do my ethnographic work on the subculture of preschoolers. There is much to be gained from observing such a subculture. It is evident that at a very young age, children, including preschoolers, have picked up on gender roles and other social cues. These behaviors, evidently learned and therefore cultural, were observed by them and in turn replicated. This is evident in the behaviors I observed during my time at a local preschool. I agreed not to reveal the name or location of the preschool, as well as the names of the students and the teacher. I will refer to the teacher simply as teacher and each child as male or female. The start of the day begins with the commotion of little feet shuffling through the door of the building. Most of these little people arrive on a bus, and those who did not come by bus are brought in by larger people3, most likely by their parents. Once all the preschoolers are in the building, chaos ensues. Coats and backpacks are piled on the floor. The leader of this tribe, known as the Teacher, convinces the little ones to collect their belongings and place them in the designated area. Once this task is completed they all gather in a circle on mats. The teacher then calls each individual by name. Each little person present responds with a “here” when their name is called. The teacher keeps a count, while calling their names, marking presence and absence. After the role has been defined, the little characters come together to tell a story. This fairy tale in particular, one of the many told by the Master, talks about a princess who kisses a frog1. A local source told me that these stories are told daily. Afterwards the afternoon meal is served. The dish for that particular day was meatballs with... paper means... which stood out from the others. I sat on the floor next to her in hopes that she would be willing to talk to another woman. The conversation was a little challenging at first, but she soon opened up in response to my willingness to participate in her work. We didn't talk much about anything really, but it was a sense of kinship that we shared. The impression I got from this female was that she felt like an outsider in this group of males. After reflecting on the previous day, the only male in the group with three females may have felt the same way. But I would have to investigate further and actually have an answer. The three males in the group at the creative station were semi-aggressive. When one of the males built a building with blocks, another of the males would crash a car, truck, or plane into the building and cause it to collapse..
