I think it's written very well for somebody who's in kindergarten. On that basis, I wouldn't change a thing.

(I would wait until I had been helped before thanking people, but I was born before the internet existed so maybe I'm more patient than some people.)

I made it for my daughter ma'am. She is going to deliver a speech. She can't compose a speech that's why I interviewed her and put it in writing. Thanks!

I made it for my daughter ma'am. She cannot compose on her own so I interviewed her and written what was on her mind. I am not good in english and this is my first time to make a speech like this that is why I am seeking help to to check my grammar, sentence and even the sequences, ideas and anything. Thanks!

If you are going to write something for a five-year-old to say it should be written the way a five-year-old would say it. (My opinion.)

I totally agree with Tarheel's suggestion in post #6.
Do you want to amend it or do you want to stick with the above?

Note my corrections above.

I agree with the others - you should write a speech using the sort of language a five-year-old would use.

Thank you for your opinion. I am very much welcome for any suggestions. The words that that I chose, in my opinion, are the basic words that I know a kinder knows. Any replacement of words or even sentences are very welcome. Thank you!

Did you not notice that in the quote boxes in post #8, I crossed out "ma'am" each time you had used it? There is no need to address us using such terms. Not only is it overly formal but it suggests you're assuming that you know the gender of the writer. You shouldn't do that.
I also changed "made" to "wrote" both times.

We like to see that you are taking notice of our corrections.

For example:
Dear everyone,
My classmates and I would like to thank you for celebrating this special day with us.
Thanks to the school staff, and especially our dear teachers, for their kindness and support, and for teaching us to read, write, sing, and dance.
It was an enjoyable year in the classroom, playground, and everywhere in the school.
Thanks also to our parents and family members for their love and encouragement.
Congratulations to all the kids. We’re looking forward to the next level of school.

Yes, you did. You used it in post #9. You also repeated "I made it for my daughter" instead of "I wrote it for my daughter".
