A 1st grade school
teacher had twenty-six students in her class.
She presented each child in her classroom the
1st half of a well-known proverb and asked
them to come up with the remainder of the
proverb. It's hard to believe these were
actually done by first graders. Their insight
may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind
that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds,
because the last one is a
classic!
