The writing is a bit faint, but in the picture to the right Matthew labeled the different cowboy accoutrements.
The booklet on top was like a "Brown Bear, Brown Bear..." for Texas. Each page had something unique to Texas such as the state tree, flag, flower, seal, Alamo and so on.Today Matthew recited a jumbled history of the Alamo. It's kind of amusing to hear how things are processed in a 6 year old's mind. Reminds me of the game telephone.
The school's mascot is a cowboy, and there are lone stars, boots, and flags decorating the halls. Each afternoon I watch the color guard take down Old Glory along with the Lone Star.

The Texas indoctrination starts young. I have a friend who lived in Texas during her elementary school years and still identifies herself as Texan even though her family moved a lot.
