"This story was in a story in the anthology that I teach from and it lended itself well to text-to-self connections in building schema. Fireflies is about a boy who caught fireflies in a jar. He used them as light on his bed-side table at night. He wakes up in the morning and realizes that a firefly's light is most visible at night."
"This is a great book to add to your collection- however you may have to search it out at a second-hand bookstore because it seems to be out of print. I first came across Fireflies! when I began teaching writing using the Lucy Calkin's UOS g.3-5. The story is an excellent one for teaching the basics of writing a small-moment or seed idea. When my student's and I study this mentor text as writers, we always learn things we could model in our own work."
"I enjoyed the simplicity of this story about a young boy who decides to catch fireflies in a jar. He eagerly runs downstairs to the basement to prepare his jar. After catching them, he see their beauty in the night, but understands that they are not going to live if he keeps them locked up. He makes the decision to set them free. Children are often faced with making difficult choices. It's also a story about being kind to nature and the environment in which we live."
"This book is about a young boy who decides to catch fireflies in a jar. After doing so, he understands that the fireflies caught are not going to live throughout the night. He must make a decision, either to keep his new pets or set them free.
