    Star Room Kindergarten Answers: "Being healthy and breathing healthy so my breath can help the rain forests." "My mom and dad." "You actually do not need a TV or toys because I am more important than that stuff if there is a fire. I wouldn't go save the stuff. I would run outside." "My sister." My family." My family." My brother." My mom and my parents because if you do not have parents or someone to take care of you, there might be a wildfire and you might not know what to do and you might not be a Radkid."
