He said: “Very nice! I’ve done lots of pattern lessons myself, especially because 3rd graders in my district read a story called The Talking Cloth by Rhonda Mitchell. The “talking” cloth in the book is actually a type of cloth called adinkra, which is covered in stamps that represent different things.

I've done lots of pattern lessons myself, especially because 3rd graders in my district read a story called <em>The Talking Cloth</em> by Rhonda Mitchell. The "talking" cloth in the book is actually a type of cloth called adinkra, which is covered in stamps that represent different things. Adinkra is a tradition that comes from Ghana, which also makes it a good lesson for Black History Month since some of my students are 1st or 2nd generation immigrants from Ghana. Very nice!
