You Can Do It!

You are very special, and I want you to know,
I loved being your teacher, and it’s hard to see you go.

Though our time together this year has come quickly to an end,
I will remember you forever, my dear second grade friend.

As you continue your journey, you will learn and grow.
Please carry these words I give to you, wherever you may go.

Always do your best, no matter how hard it seems,
And if you do, I promise, you will reach your dreams.

Remember to tell yourself, “I CAN do it,” because I know you can;
Just think of all you’ve learned since school first began.

Reading, Writing, and Math; I know weren’t always fun,
But I am so proud of you for all that you have done.

You will continue learning as you move from grade to grade,
Keep this in mind and think about the progress you have made.

And if you feel like giving up---keep trying, you’ll make it through,
For you will see that you can do anything you set your mind to.

As time goes by you may forget some things about second grade,
Like the stories we read and the games that we played.

But there’s one thing I hope you remember your whole life through,
It’s to know that you CAN do it, and Mrs. Boyer believes in YOU!
