Words of Wisdom from Grade 10
When asked to ‘finish the saying’ here is a sample of what they gave me… enjoy! 

Time flies when…
                   the clock is moving.
                   it is hot.
                   you make it fly.
                   the air is blowing.
                   you work hard.
                   there is no wind.
                   you waste it.
                   It’s autumn season.
                   the sun lies.
                   you’re really in love with it. 

The grass is always greener…
                   when the rain is raining.
                   when the area is special and nice.
                   but it can get dry.
                   because that is it’s color.
                   during the rainy season.             

Don’t count your chickens before…
                  they get to know the whole world.
                   you finish eating.
                   they increase.
                   I come to school.
                   you can see them.
                   the chicken produces a chick.
                   you give it food.
                   they’re born.
                   they become more.                  

People who live in glass houses…
                   are in danger.
                   are so nice to talk with.
                   will get eaten up by animal.
                   are always rebuilding.
                   have money to make a good house.
                   they are not protected.
                   they feeling good.
                   can see outside the house.
                   feel happy.              

An apple a day…
 
                for me, is enough.
                   I can eat.
                   is very nice.
                   is always green in color, if not red.
                   is so sweet.

You can lead a horse to water, but…
                   don’t leave it there.
                   don’t lead it to the sea.
                   not to someone eating.
                   just know what you are doing.
                   you may fall down.
                   not to the ground.
                   it’s not good.
                   don’t ride it.

Life is like a box of chocolates…
                   because it’s good!
                   that can be finished up at any time.
                   which is very nice.
                   when you are in good condition.
                   but you need to be careful.
                   and a cool-box of ice.
                   or just like a rolling  ball.
