We continued our second week of “Insects” with Spiders, Grasshoppers, Worms, Flies and Mosquitos. We used our “Head, Thorax, Abdomen” song to help us once again determine that Grasshoppers, Flies & Mosquitos ARE insects but Spiders and Worms are not.
We also learned a new version of “Little Miss Muffet”, that grasshoppers sing with their legs, that worms help the earth and that fly & mosquito life cycles are very short!
Little Miss Muffet*
Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet
Eating her curds and whey.
Along came a spider
And sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away.
Little Miss Muffet went back to her tuffet,
Looked that thing square in the eye.
“See here, you big spider,
Miss Muffet’s a fighter
And you’re the one saying bye-bye.”
