First Graders

A first grade teacher collected well known proverbs. She gave 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. The last one is classic!

Strike while the ..............................bug is close.
It's always darkest before..................Daylight Saving Time.
Never underestimate the power of............termites.
