**__ There's Nothing in My Bag Today __**

Today I did my math and science, I toasted bread. I halved and quartered .I counted, measured, used my eyes,and ears, and head.I added and subtracted on the way,I used a magnet, blocks and memory tray.I learned 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 learned 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 learned about a snail and a worm, remembering how to take my turn. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 190%;">Helped a friend when he was stuck, <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 190%;">learned that water runs off a duck. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 190%;">I looked at words from left to right, <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 190%;">agreed to differ, not to fight. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 190%;">So please don't say, "Did you only play today?" __<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 190%;">Just Play __ <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 190%;">I tried to teach a child with books;  <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 190%;">He only gave me puzzled looks. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 190%;">I tried to teach a child with words; <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 190%;">They passed by him often unheard. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 190%;">Dispairingly, I turned aside <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 190%;">"How shall I teach this child?" I cried. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 190%;">Into my hand he put the key, <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 190%;">"Come", he said, "And play with me."
