Eco-Songs: Terrapins, Terrapins

At Eagle Cove School, each class has a wild life project.  There are eels in the 2nd grade room, 3rd graders tend the oyster spat, and 1st graders raise 2 terrapins, to release in the spring on Poplar Island.  With that ats motivation, first graders wrote this song with musical extraordinaire, Linda Richards, who spent 2 days on campus creating songs such as this during our Bay Week.
Terrapins, Terrapins
(sung to the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”)

Terrapins, Terrapins
Set them free and they can swim
Watch them swimming in the tide
Diamondbacks far and wide
Terrapins, Terrapins
Set them free and they can swim

Terrapins, Terrapins
Eating minnows and grass shrimp
Populations not so limp
Not so big and not so small
Take a rest on a rockwall
Terrapins, Terrapins
Set the free and they can swim

Song written by the first graders under the guidance and musical talents of Linda Richards.  To learn more about Linda, click the blog-title above or go to http://www.lindarichardsadventures.com/
