This fits SO PERFECTLY with what we have been studying in class!
Ask your 4th grader about the atlatl and Cahokia Mounds!
Cahokia Mounds ~ In social studies we have been studying the Mississippian Mound Builders (one of the Native American Tribes that lived in Illinois). They are the tribe that built Cahokia Mounds!
Atlatl ~ We also have been studying the tool called the atlatl. It was a tool first developed by the Archaic Indians (another Native American Tribe that lived in Illinois). The atlatl helps hunters throw a spear further and with great force.
Check out our social studies packet for more information about the tribes we've been studying... the test is scheduled for next Friday!
