Does anyone have a poem for preschool graduation?

Question

I am a first year teacher and would like a poem that relates to that.

Answer 1

My daughter was:

Kindergarten here we come,

We know we'll have lots of fun,

Reading, writing,_________too,

We know we'll have lots to do,

Kindergarten here we come,

We know we'll have lots of fun.

Obviously I have forgotten what comes after writing but you could add something that is appropriate. They sang it as a song at the preschool graduation, it was very cute.

Answer 2

Now I know my ABC's, colors, shapes and days

I learned some poems, sang some songs, rhymes and fingerplays

I played outside on sunny days and inside when it rained

My little hands and little feet were busy everyday.

My teacher was (teacher's name here), I kept her on her toes

She combed my hair, tied my shoes and even wiped my nose.

But now it's time to say good-bye to all my preschool friends.

School is over, summers here, but learning never ends!!!

Do you remember way last fall

when we were only just this tall?

Now look at us, we're up to here

And my we've learned a lot this year

But this is the beginning not the end

Because we made so many friends

We won't be sad

We will remember

We'll see each other in September!

Answer 3

Listen to the Mustn'ts,child,

Listen to the Don'ts

Listen to the Shouldn'ts

The Impossibles, the Won'ts

Listen to the Never Haves,

Then listen close to me --

Anything can happen, child,

Anything can be.

Shel Silverstein

Answer 4

I am looking for the same thing and I ran across this one.  I thought that it was cute.  Just change a couple of the words and it could work.  Good luck!!!

Preschoolers Are Special People

You're a very special person,

And, you should know

That I loved being your teacher

And I'm sad to see you go.

As you get a little older

And give each grade a turn,

Try hard and do your best,

There is so much to learn.

Two things I tried to teach you,

That learning is life long

And that you are special

Just because you are!

Thanks for a fun year!

Answer 5

Well, it depends on the age of the pre-schoolers.  But, there is a wonderful A.A. Milne poem that I loved as a kid called (I believe) Now I am Six.  I'm guessing that it would be a bit old, but it could be phrased as all that the kids have to look forward to in moving ahead to Kindergaarten.  I'm sorry I'm not home with my books, and I can't think of any teacher poems off hand.

It goes something like...

When I was 1 I had just begun

When I was 2 I was nearly new

When I was 3 I was hardly me

When I was 4 I was not much more

When I was 5 I was just alive

But, Now I'm 6 and clever as clever

... I think I'll just stay 6 forever.

A.A. Milne has a lot of great poems geared towards children of the pre-K age.  (He wrote them for his son... just like the Christopher Robin tales.)  Take a look at one of his collections.  It might be of help.

You can also try Shel Silverstein (Where the Sidewalk Ends, and A Light in the Attic are two good collections.)

Good luck.
