1st Grade Proverbs...

From Gwennie-poo!

First grade school teacher had 26 students in her class. She presented each child with the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the saying. 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-grade 6-year olds. (The last one is a classic!!)
