Hello! I'm did a unit similar to this! I believe the order is

    Grasshopper 
    Mouse
    Snake
    Hawk
  The plant is at the bottom of the food chain, because it provides energy, or nutrients, for other small organisms such as a grasshopper. The same goes for the grasshopper and the mouse, the mouse and the snake, and it keeps going till the hawk.
    The plant is considered a primary producer, because it provides energy for the grasshopper. However, the hawk is at the top of the food chain, because he is predator. In a way, he can be considered a producer for much bigger animals, but in this case, the hawk is at the top of this chain because he is the main predator in this situation.
