Following the giraffe portraits drawn by the K/1s they listened to Maasai and I by Virginia Kroll and Nancy Carpenter and learned about the Maasai people of East Africa and the flat collar, beaded necklaces that they craft. Noticing the geometric patterns that the Maasai design, the students drew and colored their own patterns, adding the rectangular bottom piece with beads hanging from it.
