What makes Bluebonnet Learning different?
Does Bluebonnet RLA include religious references?
- Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech references the Boston Tea Party and the biblical story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to emphasize justice, freedom, and moral courage.
- The Boston Tea Party is taught in Grade 1, focusing on protest against injustice.

Does TEKS certification for 2025-2026 need to be completed before ordering?
After completing the inventory, the certification must be presented to your school board for approval. Once approved, the certification must be signed by both the Superintendent and the School Board Secretary and uploaded into the EMAT system.
It is strongly recommended to complete this process before EMAT opens in mid-May, allowing you to begin ordering materials immediately. Note that accessible instructional materials can be ordered at any time.

Will the Strong Foundations Implementation Grant cover material costs?
- Start with OER Entitlement funds, as these do not roll over.
- Next, use up to 30% of grant funds for purchasing materials.
- Reserve HQIM Entitlement funds for any remaining material costs, as these funds can roll over and be used in subsequent years.
