Exciting times are ahead,
As you enter first grade, it's said!
You'll learn new things every day,
And meet new friends along the way.

Pack your backpack with care,
Make sure your pencils and books are there.
You'll need them all to do your best,
And tackle challenges with zest.

Learning can be fun and sweet,
With colorful pictures and rhymes to meet.
You'll discover new worlds and places,
And meet characters with different faces.

So, get ready for an adventure grand,
As you step into a new land.
Your first grade journey will be great,
Filled with excitement and learning, it's fate!
