A First 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 Grade students. Their insight may surprise you. Keep in mind that these are 6-year-olds, because the last one is, well a classic!

Have a great spring weekend everyone, school starts up again for me on Monday so I will be MIA again, but wish me luck I am on Week #4 and will be more than half-way done. My goal is to finish early before the seven week period comes so keep your fingers crossed.

Good luck!!! You are gettin' there!
But don't be MIA too long. ;)
Those made me laugh so hard!! Their perspectives are so different from ours, I love the batteries and picture on the box comments, they are so from the computer age. When you need a good laugh sit in another room and listen to your children (or anyone's children) talk when they don't know you are listening. Too funny!!
love the list. good luck with school. oh - and i like your "can you hear me now" pic! too funny!
These are hysterical; I love 'em!
I really liked #24. True that!
Good luck with the last few weeks of school. I'll be thinking of you.
