Gracias querida profesora por este curso inolvidable,
por tu cariño, compresión, amor y besos,
por tu paciencia, trabajo duro y notable,
por enseñarnos a escribir, leer, ser menos traviesos,
por hacernos reír y apreciar a todos los progresos,
por dejarnos un espacio para crecer con alegría,
por apoyar a nuestros padres en lo que te pedían,
por tu alma intrépida de educadora infantil,
por tus valores, tu respeto y energía juvenil,
por esparcir sobre nosotros tu conocimiento,
por asegurar la salud nuestra en el distanciamiento,
por ser una profe inclusiva, sensible a los lamentos,
por darnos herramientas para desarrollar talentos,
por creer sin límites en nuestras capacidades,
por tu perdón, dulzura, cultivando las bondades,
por hacer de esta ciudad la mejor de ciudades,
te dejamos esta nota ya que pronto creceremos:
por querernos tanto, profesora,
siempre te recordaremos.

Thank you, dear teacher, for an unforgettable course,
For your love and guidance, an unwavering force.
Your patience and hard work, remarkable and true,
Teaching us to write, read, and be better too.

You made us laugh, cherished each step we took,
Appreciating progress, like pages in a book.
Creating a space for us to grow with joy,
Supporting our parents, their dreams you employ.

Your intrepid soul, a child’s educator,
Instilling values, respect, and youth’s vigor.
Spreading knowledge wide, like a gentle rain,
Nurturing our minds, washing away all pain.

In these times of distance, health you ensured,
An inclusive teacher, sensitive and assured.
Equipping us with tools, talents to unveil,
Believing in our limitless potential, without fail.

Your forgiveness and sweetness, kindness you’ve sown,
Making our city the best, like a crown to be worn.
As we bid farewell, as our journey unfolds,
Teacher, we’ll always remember the love you’ve bestowed.
