There's Nothing in my Cubbie Today

Today I did Math and Science - I toasted bread.
I halved and quartered, counted, measured, used my eyes, ears & head.
I added and subtracted along the way,
I used the magnetic blocks and memory tray.
I learned about a rainbow and how to weigh.
So please don't say, "Anything in your cubbie today?"

You see I'm learning 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 my crayon through a maze.
To find my name and write it down - to do it with a smile, not a frown.
To put my pasting brush away,
So please don't say, "What, nothing in your cubbie today?"

I've learned about a snail and a worm, remembered to take my turn.
I helped a friend when he was stuck, learned that water runs off a duck.
Looked at words from left to right, agredd 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 see a problem, find a clue, and work it out for myself just waht to do.
My teacher sets the scene and stands nearby, to help me when I really try.
They are there to pose the problems, and help me to think.
I know they'll keep me floating, and never let me sink.

All this ins in my head, and not in my cubbie.
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 Cubbie?
Didn't you do anything today?"
