Cat's Cradle and a Cat

I'm teaching a mini history unit on first peoples of North America and Australia (the two countries currently represented at LVLC). This week we learned about the Plains and Southwest Native Americans.

We learned about buffalo hunts and pueblos. The kids got to try shooting a bow and arrow, basket weaving, and playing Cat's Cradle, which Plains children played.

In art we focused on compositions that emphasize an important detail. This is sort of the LVLC mascot, Orio the Cat.
