Tonight's homework is to find 5 facts about a famous West Virginian and to copy missed spelling words three times each.  They will only test over the ones they missed. 

 I am putting a list here of people that they can choose from for the History assignment, but they are not limited to this list.  Feel free to pick someone else from our state.  

They will need a picture of that person or what they represent by next week, as well as a picture of themselves for the front cover of the binder.
