Dear A,

Daddy and I had homework to do,

and so we wrote our letters to you

about how once we were in first grade too.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

You went to sleep so late last night,

but you’re not too tired, right?

Oh, you are? Then early tonight

we’ll turn out your light.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Brother, and Sister

Dear A,

Your new scooter was great!

You rode it like you’re 8!

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

Wow, you’re a first grader!

Hope your first day is great-er.

Tells us all about it later,

All about how you played-er

And your new educator!

So see you later, alligator.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Brother, and Sister

Dear A,

I’m not here

but your note did appear!

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

Yesterday you read under the trees

outside on the grass, feeling the breeze.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

Sleeping bags are neat.

In go your feet.

Snuggle in the heat.

It just can’t be beat.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

No fruit in the house!

What shall we do?

I guess that means

jellybeans for you.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Sister, and Brother

Dear A,

Oops, almost forgot

a note – but not!

This hits the spot!

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Brother, and Sister

Dear A,

Your last week of kindergarten, 

then the summer will be startin’.

Soon you’ll go on to first grade,

new adventures to be made.

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Brother, and Sister
