1st grade proverbs

[snopes]

Already posted on the old board.

Comment: 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. 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!

Actually, I could see this as coming from a bunch of 1st graders. I seriously doubt that this "assignment" was given one-proverb-per-child and this was the result; it would be more like all the kids got all of the proverbs, and the best answers were put together, or all of the kids for 5 years got all of the proverbs and the best were put together.

My mother was a grade school teacher, and one year they put together a cookbook (I believe it was 1st graders; it was definitely lower grades). Now, it wouldn't do to have the kids go home and get their favorite recipes from their parents; they asked them to just write down how they thought it was cooked. You ended up with things like "add one cup of salt", "put oven on at 50 degrees for 15 hours", etc. The results were sent home. Very very funny.
