Subject: Kid's Proverbs
From: MICHELLE CASEY
A fifth 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. Their insight may surprise you.
Better to be safe than
Punch a 5th grader
Strike while the
Bug is close
It's always darkest before
Daylight Savings Time
Never underestimate the power of
Termites
You can lead a horse to water but
how?
Don't bite the hand that
looks dirty
No news is
impossible
A miss is as good as a
Mr.
You can't teach an old dog new
math
If you lie down with dogs, you'll
stink in the morning
Love all, trust
me
The pen is mightier than the
pigs
An idle mind is
The best way to relax
Where there's smoke there's
pollution
Happy the bride who
gets all the presents
A penny saved is
not much
Two's company, three's
the Musketeers
Don't put off till tomorrow what
you put on to go to bed
Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and
you have to blow your nose
None are so blind as
Stevie Wonder
Children should be seen and not
spanked or grounded
If at first you don't succeed
get new batteries
You get out of something what you
see pictured on the box
When the blind leadeth the blind
get out of the way
And the favorite
Better late than
pregnant
