Teacher Asks Third Graders To 'Complete The Proverb,' And Their Answers Are Pure Gold
October 9, 2024
In a fun classroom exercise, teacher Em Powderly challenged her third grade students to complete popular old sayings, such as "the early bird gets the worm."
What unfolded was a hilarious and creative display of imagination, as the students only had the first half of each saying to work with.
Em shared her favorite responses on TikTok:
