An Elementary 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!

of termites.

laughs with you, cry and you have to blow your nose.

Stevie Wonder.

Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle . . .
I can hardly believe a first grader came up with that last one! Very funny Sylvia.
Those are hysterical. I suspect that some of those kids repeated first grade ten times.
Very cute and also very funny!
Thanks for the giggles...
