The Teacher

I admire her with affection
She loves children very much
With her smile she awaits us
In fall or spring

White neat robe
Impeccably ironed
Also starchy
She takes very good care of her

She is happy and funny
We learn a lot with her
With didactic outings
New places we know

Pay attention to the blackboard
Quiet and focused
We enjoyed a lot
Of everything taught

At recess
In the patio we get together
After playing for a while
We all have a snack together

We endlessly ask
The same or another concern
Helps us think
Patience is your virtue

With sweet and crystalline voice
She has never been angry
With the teacher Betina
We feel very pampered

The bell has rung
It’s time to leave
We’ve gone home
Waiting for a new day
