Page 2—What is bus safety? Start a class discussion by asking students to come up with as many bus safety rules as they can think of (rules for getting to and from the bus stop, waiting for the bus and getting on and off the bus). Write their ideas on the board and talk about why each one is important. Consider inviting a school bus driver to your class to discuss the importance of school bus safety. Have students prepare questions in advance. Note: The words in blue in the workbook are intended to be used as vocabulary words (students may need your help pronouncing them).

Have students bring the maps home to share with their parents.
