Texas Mini Unit Study


I am very excited about the resources listed below to put together a Texas unit study. Here's why. I took Texas History in the 12th grade. I moved from Virginia to Texas my senior year and it was a requirement to graduate from high school. I wish I could say I learned a lot in that class. But I didn't. I remembered facts about the Lone Star State long enough to pass tests and quizzes. And then I promptly forgot.

Why am I sharing all this? I guess because what I just described about my experience in school is what drives me to find interesting learning materials for my children.

Working on a Seperate Homeschool Blog

Per my husband's suggestion, I am going to start a separate blog that contains all of my homeschool information. Right now I'm trying to think of a title. Then I'll figure out whether I'm going to move my homeschool posts from here to there, or whether I'll just start fresh on the HS blog and maybe link back to this blog.

We'll see.
