What's happening in reading workshop by Brandy Meyers https://padlet.com/bmeyers2/ncal0g0w7ugn We have been reading fables this week. This led us to a discussion on proverbs and adages. Proverbs and adages tell a truth or give advice or wisdom. What are some sayings your family uses? We would love for you to share so we can discuss these tomorrow. Be sure to put your name. en-us 2017-02-01 21:38:41 UTC 2025-11-02 20:36:53 UTC hello@padlet.com "I'm 'bout to fly off the handle" bmeyers2 https://padlet.com/bmeyers2/ncal0g0w7ugn/wish/151001136 This is something my mama used to say when she was letting me know that I was pushing her to the limit.   Mrs. Meyers

If children were bad and didn't mind their manners she would wrestle (ride) them at night. To keep her away you have to keep mustard seeds and an open bible and broom by your bed.
