First Graders
(author unknown)
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!
