Back to school means pencils, books, computers and buses! Whether they ride the bus every day or on occasion for a field trip, students need to learn safety first because buses are BIG and children are small! In this issue cartoon characters guide young riders through bus safety rules that protect students getting on or off the bus. They’ll discover where the driver’s “blind spot” is located and where they need to stand to be safely seen at all times. Navigating through their town or on imaginary streets hones map reading skills and introduces readers to concepts of navigation and direction. Hop on board!
