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!
1. Don't change horses until they stop running. 2. Strike while the bug is close. 3. It's always darkest before Daylight Saving Time. 4. Never underestimate the power of termites. 5. You can lead a horse to water but How? 6. Don't bite the hand that looks dirty. 7. No news is impossible 8. A miss is as good as a Mr. 9. You can't teach an old dog new Math 10. If you lie down with dogs, you'll stink in the morning. 11. Love all, trust Me. 12. The pen is mightier than the pigs. 13. An idle mind is the best way to relax. 14. Where there's smoke there's pollution. 15. Happy the bride who gets all the presents. 16. A penny saved is not much. 17. Two's company, three's the Musketeers. 18. Don't put off till tomorrow what you put on to go to bed. 19. Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and You have to blow your nose. 20. There are none so blind as Stevie Wonder. 21. Children should be seen and not spanked or grounded. 22. If at first you don't succeed get new batteries. 23. You get out of something only what you See in the picture on the box 24. When the blind lead the blind get out of the way. 25. A bird in the hand is going to poop on you. And the WINNER and last one! 26. Better late than Pregnant

Boy, I agree about the new math. I used to teach math, and I helped my 6 year old niece with her math homework. They were using something called "tallies".
She told me the next day, "Aunt Jan, you made me get and "N" on my math paper!" It's really bad when you can no longer do first grade math!

My kids are in 3rd and 6th grade. I can get the correct answer, but the teacher needs them to show their work, and I can't explain the "old" way because it's wrong!

 We started to list our favourites, but there were too many & what on earth are "tallies", we taught maths too  sounds like we won't be much good as a maths coach anymore, unless Australia has resisted this "new maths".

is a tally just a new way to say adding up a list of things..... Maybe its an English UK way to say add up? Yes it looks like some of those students are using the right side of the brain.(Like me) when I was 13 I wrote a poem that got published in the right to life magazine and Ive seen it many times since. Did you know that Danielle Steele's son could talk whilst still in the pram. He would say "I'm incredible" Its a good read about her son and his Bipolar.
