A Child's Plea

Today I did my maths and science -
I toasted my bread. I halved and quartered, counted, measured. Used my eyes and ears and hands, I added and subtracted on the way. I used magnets, blocks and memory tray. I learnt about a rainbow and how to weigh.
So - Please don't say "anything in your bag today?"
You see I'm sharing as I play. I learn to listen and speak clearly when I talk, to wait my turn, and when inside to walk. To put my thoughts into a phrase. To guide a crayon through a maze. To find my name and write it down. To do it with a smile and not a frown. To put my pasting brush away. So please don't say "What nothing in your bag today?"
I've learnt about a snail and a worm. Remembered how to take my turn. Helped a friend when he was stuck. Learnt that water runs off a duck. Looked at words from left to right. Agreed to differ, not to fight.
So please don't say "Did you only play today?"
Yes I played the whole day through. I played to learn the things I do. I seek a problem, find a clue and work out for myself just what to do. My teachers set the scene and stay near by. To help me when I really try. They are there to pose the problems and help me think. I hope they will keep me floating and never let me sink. All this is in my head and not my bag. It makes me sad to hear you say.
"Haven't you done anything today?"
When you attend your meetings and do your work today. I will remember not to say to you. "What nothing in your bag? What did you do?"
