Share the Wealth Teacher-Author Spotlight- Teaches Third in Georgia

Hello and Welcome to the first Teacher-Author Spotlight of 2013! I must say that I have an amazing line-up of teacher-authors that are excited to meet you this year. In fact, I am booked all the way through November. C-R-A-Z-Y! 

I am excited for this year to develop and bloom! I have joined in with so many exciting adventures lately that my head is spinning. My latest and most exciting excursion yet is the invitationd to be a part of the All Thing Upper Elementary think tank. With 14 amazing teachers from all over the country working together, how can it NOT be fantastic? Not only am I excited to share my ideas, my classroom, my experience- and believe that makes me very excited (and nervous), but I am also giddy to learn from my 13 fellow teachers there AND all of you whom I hope will join us and share your insight and wisdom. To check that out, you can click HERE. I hope you will consider becoming a follower of that blog! You won't be disappointed.

Okay, okay. I know that you are ready to meet our amazing teacher-author. So... let's get this party started!

I would love to introduce you to Randi Smith, the creator and operator of Teaches Third in Georgia.

Randi shared this with me: "My name is Randi Smith. I currently teach third grade in North Georgia and have been teaching for seven years. I LOVE making fun and exciting things for the classroom and always try to bring in what is most popular to my kids. Engaging lessons and building a fun classroom environment is my goal."

Okay, so after reading that, how can you NOT be excited to meet Randi? With nearly 200 hundred, yes, you read that right, TWO HUNDRED resources for your browsing pleasure, you are sure to find a wonderful and useful activity, games, or CC aligned resource to fill that hole in your lesson plan.

I love that she has so many buyers telling her that the just LOVE her resources. In fact, I wanted to share a really FUN freebie from Randi at Teaches Third in Georgia. (You see ALL of her Freebies by clicking HERE!) 
Here is the FREEBIE you really need to get:

This AWESOME set of clip art characters and houses is FREE! I was so excited to find it. It really got me to thinking of all the ways I could use this. 
For example, you could use these:
-as a sequence activity
-puppets in a puppet show
-a writing center
-for point of view lesson (write from the point of view of the character you draw out of a bag)
-math activities
-and more. 

WAHOO!

To claim your awesome set of freebie Little Pigs Clip Art, click HERE or on the picture. Don't forget to leave feedback while you are there as well! :)

Remember to check out all of  Randi's many media outlets. You can find her over at her blog, on Pinterest, or, of course at her Teachers Pay Teachers store.

Thanks Randi! It was fantastic to get to know you and your wonderful resources!
