[|Connell's Article] The article I read was called" Toms river principal spots fire at teacher's home". It was about a principal named Jill MacIntosh and she worked for Washington Street Elementary School. When she was driving to work and she saw a teacher's garbage can on fire! Since she is more than just a ordinary principal, she knocked on the door and helped her secretary escape,most people would keep driving. She saved the life of her secretary ,Wendy Yorke.

I liked the article because it had a lot of cool stuff in it like, a garbage can on fire and a principal who rescued her own secretary. The article is short so I think they should add more paragraphs to make it more interesting. Besides that it was a great article. It has enough detail just less paragraphs. Warning kids do not do this at home!

[|Connell's Article] The article I read was called **"N.J Schools Encourage Kids to Walk and Bike**". The schools want the kids to walk or bike to school for many reasons. 1. To save the costs of transportation and use the money for more important things like tutors and teachers. 2. Curb carbon emissions. 3. Finally, address childhood obesity. Also for kids to stay healthy, active, and to have fun. Their idea is going to save lots of money! ( The district was called" Little Egg Harbor")

I thought the article " N.J Schools Encourage Kids to Walk and Bike" is a fantastic article. I think it is a great way to have fun, stay healty, and get active. Plus, it had about 2 paragraphs ( I was hoping it would be more than 4) but it had a lot of details why they wanted kids to bike or walk. I wish I could ride to school on my bike! But my mom wouldn't let me( but the streets are hard to cross, I would be hit hard if I got hit, The road is called" Newton Sparta Road".) If I can't ride to school I will just ride around my block with some friends.
