Eric Carle Razzlin' Dazzlin' Words

This week we have been reading all "The Very" books by Eric Carle, like The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Very Busy Spider, The Very Lonely Firefly, etc. We've been collecting razzlin' dazzlin' words from the stories and we've made a thematic word wall to put all of the words we've found. Some of the words include: sparkling, encountered, grouchy, pesty, glittering, flooding, pop, and froth. I had the students during writer's workshop write a story that used at least one of their new razzlin' dazzlin' words. I was SOOO thrilled with what I received from my brilliant students! I'm hoping that some of my students will find time to post some of their wonderful stories!
