Coming soon to a website near you. Partially funded by Summerlee.
"TEXAS STORIES is a fun, engaging new way to learn about and teach Texas history – at home and in the classroom.
We'll soon be working with educators to develop an ongoing series of classroom resources that are simple to use, easy to access and incorporate technology. They are being designed as supplemental learning activities for 4th and 7th grade Texas History classes, librarians and homeschool parents. Sample Activities will be posted on this web site – soon!
Highlights
Each month we will select two TEXAS STORIES and develop one or more companion Activity Guides for 4th and/or 7th grades.
