Never Hurt A Ladybug

Before Spring Break, I was visiting in Cayden's sweet Kindergarten class. His teacher is such a sweet lady & does a fabulous job of teaching our baby Cayden. He has learned tons so far!!! His teacher works in songs and rhymes, utilizing them as teaching tools. So, I was in the classroom & they all started singing this song:

Never Hurt A Ladybug
(sing to the tune of Yankee Doodle)

Ladybugs are in my yard.
Just look at them devour
Those pesky aphids on the leaves
Of mother's pretty flowers.

Never hurt a ladybug
We need them in the garden.
Ladybugs help flowers grow
So we must never harm them.

The kids are so precious & have the sweetest little voices! They have just finished up a lesson on ladybugs. The teacher brought in real ladybugs, viewing boxes with magnifiers, and even had a ladybug release.

The word bank Cayden brought home was such a wonderful example of what they are learning. He had 23 words listed. A few examples are: spots, abdomen, insect, devour, aphid, larva, crawl, symmetrical, legs, fly, thorax

**are you still singing the ladybug song? I had it in my head all day today
