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!
