I downloaded lesson plans on the Alamo that include mini bios and other helpful items from thealamo.org.
We read some 1st hand accounts of the Battle.
Zach really enjoyed reading the book on George Muller. He was inspired by Muller's faith and prayer life.

This blog is a look into our homeschooling journey as we use Tapestry of Grace. You'll also find stories from various books I have collected that are now in the public domain and real life slipping in occasionally. Most posts from the public domain books have a pdf that you may download and print. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
