Product Description

This Thematic Unit The School Bus helps prepares those approximately 25 million students across the United States ride the bus to school every day for a great school bus experience. It can be used at the beginning of the year, following bus evacuation drills, or before a field trip. The unit can be completed in two or three days or spread over a week.

The unit includes an alphabet and a number game, so skills can be addressed as you focus on bus safety. The unit also has a guided reader, two writing samples, a portfolio page, and two versions of a constructed bus. 

The unit has two posters - a song poster and a color poster with a list of bus safety rules. Copy them as they are, project them in your classroom, or enlarge them at a copy store if desired. A black-and-white version of the safety rules is available to be painted or colored. When complete, send the page home or place it in a portfolio.

The School Bus mini-unit will complement your bus safety review while providing opportunities to participate in music, art, and academic activities. Pair it with books (School Bus by Donald Crews) and/or videos (Winnie the Pooh Bus Safety) for additional experiences related to buses and bus safety.
