When children come home at the end of the day,
The question they’re asked as they scurry to play,
is “Tell me, what did you do today?”
Perhaps nothing means I worked with clay
Or learned my shapes or counted today.
Maybe I did a listening sheet,
Or reviewed the body parts from head to feet.
Nothing may mean that I sang a song,
Or learned concepts like short or long.
I may have learned how to write my name,
Or gone outside to play a game.
Maybe this was the day for the first time
That my scissors followed a very straight line.
Maybe I said the ABC’s from beginning to end,
Or worked cooperatively with a brand new friend.
I may have walked the balance beam and fallen
off,
Or learned to cover my mouth when I cough.
Perhaps nothing means that I painted a tree,
Or wrote the numbers 1,2,3.
When you
are a child and your heart has wings,
“Nothing” … can mean so many things!!
