Firefly Word Work

Literacy - short vowel sounds a and e, sorting

I modified this activity by gluing the HEN and CAT jar to a piece of 8x11 piece of construction paper.  I cut out each firefly, and Addie sorted them appropriately by gluing each firefly to it's matching jar.  This activity would be perfect as a center activity, but I decided to make it more permanent, since Addie was the only one doing it.
