Thank you to Ms. Corbett's class today (SCR) for the great question for us to discover: what do grasshoppers eat?  A student found a grasshopper today at school, and the questions began to pour out.

Grasshoppers: Incredible Insects book I gave to Ms. Corbett: 595.7 GER. 

Here are a few sites that will help you find your answer too.  I used "Nettrekker" to find the web sites and World Book Online would also be another good place to deepen your learning.
