stART-The Very Lonely Firefly

This week for our stART project we read The Very Lonely Firefly, and I used a lesson from Joe's Langauge Lessons (this can be found in navbar under "Our Curriculum") book as our project. For one of his daily lessons we read a poem about fireflies. He was then asked to make up his own story about fireflies, and then draw a picture about fireflies the next day.


Here is Joe's story, it is titled "Lightening Bug Flicker":
One morning a firefly flew up to the sky. Why he was flying up to the sky is because it was winter. When winter was over he saw another group of fireflies and he joined them.


Then one day he snuck in a house and got some food for his firefly friends. Then he saw a dog. He sent some fleas to get on him. A cockroach bit the dog. Then, they saw a black cat and they all lived happily ever after. The End.


Here is his picture. He says this is a picture of a firefly, praying mantis, cockroach, spider, flea and grasshopper:

  6. OMG, this made me giggle out loud. Joe is so creative, and it's funny how their little minds jump from one thing to another. The picture is awesome too. Thanks for sharing.
