The last day of school is always bittersweet. No matter how excited we are for summer, it is always sad to see the kids who have been such a part of our lives, and we have poured so much of our heart and soul into, leave for the next grade. Although they will always come back to visit you know in their heart they will have a new teacher to write notes to next year and to share their precious hugs with. Which, of course, is exactly how it should be.
When my kids leave on the last day I always like to send them away with a book, a poem, and a big hug. This is my favorite end of year poem and you can find it all over the internet, although I think we all think of it as “ours”:
You are a very special person
And you should really know,
How I loved to be your teacher,
How fast the year did go.
Please come back to visit me
As through the years you grow,
Try hard to learn all you can,
There is so much to know.
One thing I tried to teach you
To last your whole life through,
Is to know that you are special,
Just because you’re you!!!
Good Luck in Grade One,
I am very proud of you!
