Spiders and Bugs

This week we're reading stories about those creepy-crawlies that reappear this time of year. Bumblebees, grasshoppers, ants, oh my!

(Sing this to the tune of Jingle Bells)

Clap your hands, stomp your feet, wiggle all around
Throw your hands up in the air, now let's all touch the ground
Hold your head, hold your hips, give yourself a hug
Now sit right down on the floor, but...
WATCH OUT FOR THE BUGS!
