Remember being 6 years old? No I don't

1stgrade 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

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!

Don't
change horses

until
they stop running.

stink
in the morning.

An
idle mind is

the
best way to relax.

put on to go to bed.
