Kid Proverbs

Lol, love them.
I taught Physical Education for five years, just 5 hours a day. Gives you a whole new insight on children, other than your own, and I have 4.
If I HAD to teach full time I would pick third graders. They are old enough to ‘do for themselves’ and yet still so sweet and lovable.
