Mrs. Nachtigal's K-1 class recently enjoyed hearing the story, Fancy Nancy, written by Jane O'Connor. The main character in the story is a little girl named Nancy, who believes that more is always better when it comes to being fancy! She dresses fancy, decorates her room fancy, teaches her family to eat fancy foods and Nancy even speaks fancy by using very fancy vocabulary words. Words are transformed from plain words into fabulous, fancy words like this: purple becomes fuchsia, feather becomes plume, great become stupendous and driver becomes chauffeur. It's a very exciting story, you will just have to read it yourself to see!
The K-1 students in Mrs. Nachtigal's room are working on making their own vocabulary fancy. Mrs. Nachtigal has created a word cloud in her classroom. Each letter of the alphabet it displayed on a cloud and hung from the ceiling, it looks very fancy by the way! Whenever students encounter a fancy vocabulary word it gets printed out and attached to a corresponding letter cloud. The students are having so much fun thinking of fancy words to hang from the word cloud. The best part is the kids can use all the words that are displayed in their own story writing. What a fun and fancy way to inspire creative writing!
