Bus Evacuation!

We reviewed rules for how to travel safely on a bus and how to quickly evacuate in the event of an emergency.  We watched a short video in the gym and then the entire school boarded buses and practiced a rear door exit! We were also shown some of the safety gear that is on board the bus for emergency situations.  Thank you to our bus driver, Tony for helping us today! 

Students from Grade 2 returned to class and did an amazing job of sharing this learning orally and in writing.  We used simple picture cards to promote discussion and guide our writing.  I was especially impressed with the number of students who explained WHY these rules are important.
See if your child can explain the safety rules to you at home! 

We are making gains in our writing AND we are ready for our first, safe bus trip together.  

Keep up the great work everyone!
