3rd Grade Proverbs
A third grade teacher had twenty-one students in her class and she presented each child in her class the first 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 third graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading these, keep in mind that these are third grade, 8 year-olds, because the last one is a classic!
