Sing-A-Long

All first graders joined together, dressed in their insect costumes for a whole grade sing-a-long.  Students chatted with other students about their body parts and function, and sang together, "Head, thorax, abdomen."  We changed the last part of the song each time we sang from wings, to mandibles, to probiscus.  INQUIRE with your child what they used to make their costume...how do these parts help the insect to survive?  Do they have body parts similar that help them?
