Now I know my ABCs,
Colors, shapes, and days!
I sang some songs,
Learned some poems, rhymes, and fingerplays,
I played outside on sunny days
And inside when it rained.
My little hands and little feet were busy every day.
My teacher was (insert teacher’s name),
I kept her/him on her/his toes!

But now it’s off to say “good-bye”
To all my preschool friends.
School is over, summer’s here,
But learning never ends!
