First-graders completing Proverbs Posted by Asoka on February 02, 2010 at 08:47:07
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. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds. The first line is what the teacher gave them, and the 2nd line is what the student wrote. Don't change horses until they stop running... Strike while the bug is close It's always darkest before Daylight Saving Time. Never underestimate the power of termites You can lead a horse to water but How? Don't bite the hand that looks dirty No news is impossible A miss is as good as a Mr You can't teach an old dog new Math If you lie down with dogs, you'll stink in the morning Love all, trust Me The pen is mightier than the pigs.. An idle mind is the best way to relax Where there's smoke there's pollution Happy the bride who gets all the presents A penny saved is not much Two's company, three's the Musketeers.. Don't put off till tomorrow what you put on to go to bed... Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and You have to blow your nose There are none so blind as Stevie Wonder.. Children should be seen and not spanked or grounded If at first you don't succeed get new batteries You get out of something only what you See in the picture on the box When the blind lead the blind get out of the way A bird in the hand is going to poop on you... Better late than Pregnant
