Can you guess what Tiny wants to cover next? In Texas, it seems that the study of the Texas Revolution can be anywhere from a 4thgrade to 7th grade study, but I will be tweaking it a bit to include older kids.
So today, I rounded up just a few resources. I have homeschool history – The Alamo – 17 free resources.
As we go through this unit study, I will be adding more resources but wanted to gather up these useful links and websites in one place, which I had marked or saved.

Hi Tina, I stumbled across your site while googling homeschool planning guides! This is my first year of it, and am seeing the benefit of having at least some loose plans written out ahead of time, so I am going to attempt at crossing over to the organized side. 🙂 Anyhow, I subscribed but haven’t yet received a newsletter email – I’d like to take a look at an Alamo/Texas Unit Study I saw you had offered that caught my eye, as we’re in Texas currently – but it’s saying you need to click on a link that’s on the bottom of your newsletters…since I just signed up, I don’t have any past newsletters yet I could go click on. If there’s some other way of getting to it that I’m just missing, I’d appreciate any help! Thanks!
