1st Grade Proverbs (Illustrated) from 2001 - 2002
(Please be patient while the photos load . . . )

Out of the mouths of babes come the most prolific bits of wisdom. Here is a collection of our very own Proverbs, written by Ms. K's very bright First Graders. Although the Proverbs are really enough to keep us pondering "the meaning of it all" for some time, the students' drawings are just as rich in philosophical logic. Have a look and enjoy!
