PROVERBS
FROM VIRGINIA FIRST GRADERS
A first grade teacher collected well known
proverbs. She had twenty- five
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 first graders.....
6-year-olds,
because the last one is classic!
