Cowboys Revamped!

Howdy friends!

I hope everyone is doing well! We just started a really long testing month at school. For the next 3 weeks, my kiddos will be doing exams, exams and then some more exams! Which means I'll be doing some correcting, correcting and then some more correcting! My students are so nervous they can barely sleep at night... poor sweeties! I think I'm going to go buy some motivational candy for them to chew on during tests. I guess it could help :) or at least make them smile a little! I remember I used to be SO nervous about exams when I was a student. So I totally understand how they feel and I wish I could make it go away but I can't.... so I'm thinking maybe little treats could be my best option :)

Then, I can start thinking about my maternity leave which is coming up real soon! Baby Sophia/Sofia is coming in about 2 months...! I can't wait! I'm so excited! I can't believe that in a few weeks (hey... 9 weeks is a few weeks! ;) there's going to be a little baby in our house! OUR baby! :)

On an other topic, I have completely revamped my Cowboy Homophones Unit! This unit was one of the very first ones I've created. I have improved so much over the past months I felt I needed to upgrade this product. It looked so blah...! So I got some new graphics (thank you KPM Doodles!), added a few activities, tweaked the ones that were already there and voilĂ :





Head on over to my TPT store to download the new version if you had already purchased it. If not, check it out! This is a great way to review homophones with your kiddos!

Want to win this unit? I'll give one copy away to a lucky follower! Just leave your name and email below and I'll randomly choose a winner tomorrow :)
Congrats R Eyes! :)

Ok well I'm off to watch some television! I think maybe The Carrie Diaries?...

Until next time,
