Name That Famous Illinois Person!

Henry's teacher assigned a project over Christmas break. The kids were to choose some creative way to tell some interesting facts about their home state, and Henry chose to make a diorama. He's included the state tree (Can't you tell that's a white oak?!), the state bird (cardinal), the state flower (violets), the Chicago skyline, and all sorts of famous people from Illinois. He's even made a matching game where his classmates need to put the correct description by each famous person. He's covered the box with all sorts of other interesting Illinois facts, maps and the state flag.

He's so excited to take the finished product to school tomorrow. Way to go, Henry!
