First
Grader Proverbs
February 10,
2005 Issue
Internet Gem
A first grade
teacher collected well-known proverbs. She had 25 students in her
class and she presented each child in her class the first half of
a 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 these keep in mind
that these are 6-year-olds because the last one is classic!
