There's Nothing In My Bag Today

There’s Nothing In My Bag Today
Today I did math and science
and I toasted bread, I counted, measured and
used my eyes, ears and my head.

I added and subtracted and used magnets and blocks
I learned about a rainbow and I learned how to weigh.
So please don’t say,
“Is there anything in your bag today?”

For you see, I’m learning all about sharing as I play.
I learned to listen and speak clearly when I talk,
To wait my turn, and when insideto walk.
To put my thoughts into a phrase,
To guide a crayon through a maze.
To find my name and write it down,
To work with a smile and not a frown.
To put my painting brush away.
So please don’t say, “Nothing in your bag today?”

I’ve learned about a snail and a worm.
Remembering how to take my turn.
I helped a friend when he was stuck,
Learned that water runs off a duck.
I looked at words from left to right,
Agreed to differ, not to fight.
So please don’t say, “Did you only play today?”
