This article is about a school that simply eliminated the average aspect of recess. The idea of letting the kids go out, lolly gag, maybe play some games, and walk around aimlessly was not sitting well with the school. They went about it a different way with organized games. Every student had to participate in these fun games. Thought some refused, the amount of kids coming to the nurse with scrapes and cuts dropped dramatically. This looks like a great approach with this school in Newark!

My Autobiography
Since the 2nd grade my English teachers have told me I had a special thing with writing. They would tell me I was a great story teller. That was the only thing I enjoyed writing; stories. Whether they were stories I made up or stories of something I read, I loved to write stories. My style of writing is descriptive. I love to use different words to describe settings, people, objects an so on. It's fun and expands my vocabulary the more I practice. My favorite stories to write are the ones that I make up! I can sit down for hours at a time and just write some wacky story that has excitement, sadness, happiness and so many more emotions. My favorite part to write is the end! I believe the end of a story is the single most important part of the story. When it comes to movies as well. The story could be amazing but without a proper ending, it could ruin the entire piece at that single moment. Leaving my audience with a great ending gives me that sense of satisfaction.
