Fancy

My students know how I love to be fancy! Typically, they start to get into the fanciness, but none as much as L.
He came fancy!
From day one, L had a pink feathered plume that "helped" him with his reading (fanciness helps with everything). I had a pink feather boa to remind students not to talk to me while in reading groups with other students; however this brought on such additional conversation with L ("Where did you get that?" "When can I wear it?" "Can I just touch it?") that I had to stop using it as a do-not-disturb signal. L once drew a picture of me and used 5-7 colors for my hair alone, including high-lights and low-lights; the picture was so pretty I seriously considered bringing it to my hair dresser.
Well, fancy is as fancy does....and fancy eats!
