Start spreading the news
We're leaving today
We want to be a part of it
First Grade, First Grade

We've worked very hard
We're ready to go
We're gonna be a part of it
First Grade, First Grade

We know our ABC's and our 1,2,3's so well
We've worked at sounding out words and stories to tell

Just asked us to rhyme
We'll say tens and pens
We've learned to share and get along with all our friends

So now we made it there
We'll make it anywhere
We're on our way

Great for teacher's to recite

It's time to say good-bye.
Our class has come to an end.
I've made more cherished memories
And many more friends.

I've watched your children learn and grow
And change from day to day.
I hope that all the things we've done
Have helped in some small way.

So it's with happy memories
I send them out the door,
With great hope and expectations
For what next year holds in store.

Graduation Song added 6-15-99 Original Author unknown

Now I know my ABC's,
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 (teacher's name),
I kept her on her toes.,
She tied my shoes, combed my hair, and even wiped my nose.
But now it's time to say "good-bye"
To all my preschool friends.
School is over, summer's here,
But learning never ends!

Your Teacher added 4-20-00 Original Author unknown

I'm glad I was your teacher
I've come to love you so.
I can't believe the end is here.
I hate to see you go.

Remember all the fun we had
in all the things we did,
But most of all remember...
You're a very special kid!

I know numbers , I know shapes
I know purple stands for grapes
I know red, white and blue
I know green and yellow too!
I've made friends and know how to share
What is wrong and what is fair
I know what policeman and mailman do
Nurses and fireman too!
I know rhymes, I know sounds
I've had ups and I've had downs
I've been quiet and times I've wiggled
I've sat still and sometimes giggles
We've worked all year for this degree
There now aren't you proud of ME!
The kids all learned their line in very little time.

I'm a little star shinning bright
Growing bigger every night
When I finish preschool
I will shout
I'm a star, so you better watch out!

This is our second year using this song with our star theme for graduation. I buy the children star sunglasses from oriental trading to put on at the end of the song.

Sung To: "Hi Ho, It's Off To Work We Go"

Hi ho hi ho it's off to kindergarten we go
We learned our ABC's and more
hi ho hi ho hi ho hi ho hi ho
we can't learn anymore
our teacher taught us all we know
hi ho hi ho hi ho hi ho hi ho
They're going to miss us so
So let's stand up and wave goodbye
hi ho hi ho hi ho hi ho!!

While doing it the children would point to me and pretend to cry at the appropriate times and wave goodbye at the end.
