WEST VIRGINIA HISTORY

 

Our West Virginia History Notebook is a fun and exciting unit! The kiddos love being creative and learning about our wild, wonderful state! 

*The students need a 1 inch 3-ring binder with a slot on the front cover for their cover sheets, one pack of plastic binder page sleeves,  and a folder designated for ONLY WV HISTORY material. 

*Page numbers listed below that we complete are ODD ONLY, so do not be overwhelmed by the amount. Also, several require the class to glue pictures or just fill in a few blanks. Most of them will be done at school. 

*Each Friday there will be a quiz. 

*A checklist will be stapled into their folders so they can keep track of what they have completed.
