The Very Lonely Firefly

Product Information

Choose a clear glass mason jar and puncture a few holes in the lid. Kids can decorate the lid if they would like. I don’t recommend decorating the jar itself. Decorations on the jar might interfere with the ability to see inside the jar clearly.

THE VERY LONELY FIREFLY is about "belonging". We all want to belong to a group, a family, our own fellow creatures.

Curriculum

The firefly population is decreasing, so we want to make sure we release them in the same condition we caught them in. urn:isbn:0448458519 Scandate 20111008165735 Scanner scribe12.shenzhen.archive.org Scanningcenter shenzhen Source Brief summary - A Firefly searches for other fireflies and happens upon other things that light up at night until he finds the fireflies. THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR is about "hope". You, like the little caterpillar, will grow up, unfold your wings and fly off into the future. Vocabulary - lots of different light sources are used and it gives children the change to think of each light source.

Create the colored paper to use for the wings. (We wanted our wings to resemble the firefly’s wings in the book so we decided to paint our wing paper, but you could also just use construction paper wings to simplify the activity.) Lushly illustrated with Eric Carle’s trademark vibrant collage art, soothingly told with a gentle read-aloud rhythm, and complete with a surprise sure to “light up” children’s faces, The Very Lonely Firefly will fast become a storytime favorite. Read it with a flashlight in the dark or under the table–and watch those fireflies glow!No preschool firefly unit would be complete without The Very Lonely Firefly, by Eric Carle. In this sweet summery story, a firefly is born who wants to find some friends. He looks everywhere trying to find a companion, but instead finds things like candles, flashlights, fireworks, and a lantern. Finally, after a long search, the lonely little firefly finds a group of fireflies flashing their lights. He’s not a lonely firefly anymore! THE VERY BUSY SPIDER is about "work". We need to work and finish our tasks despite the many diversions. Ages 3-6. Born one evening as the sun sets, a little firefly stretches its wings and goes off looking for others of its kind. Attracted by the lights, it flies toward a candle, a flashlight, a lantern, and finally a sky full of fireworks, only to be disappointed. When everything quiets down, though, other fireflies come out and flash their lights. The little firefly isn’t lonely anymore. Although the text may not be as strong as in Carle’s best picture books, its simplicity and its depiction of feeling lonely and finding one’s place in a group will appeal to preschoolers. As the flap copy says, “The Very Lonely Firefly is about belonging.” The illustrations, collages of painted papers, make strong visual statements in the artist’s signature style.” Paint your cardboard tube to resemble the body of a firefly. We painted the top 2/3 of ours brown and the bottom third with white and yellow stripes. Set it aside to dry. urn:lcp:verylonelyfirefl1999carl:epub:4e330c55-79d5-46f9-b1db-4260872347c9 Extramarc University of Alberta Libraries Foldoutcount 0 Identifier verylonelyfirefl1999carl Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t2n59j437 Isbn 0399234276
