Bus Safety

Bus Driver Bob visited us earlier this term and taught us about bus safety.  As this week is officially designated as School Bus Safety Week in Manitoba, we reviewed what we had learned. We also watched a video made by the Hanover School Division in southern Manitoba, as they took the song by Meghan Trainor, and changed the lyrics to All About That Bus Safety. We liked singing the chorus! You can watch it here....All About That Bus Safety

 We read the story of the "Five Little Pumpkins" today. We like singing the song, too. We also used our fine motor skills  to cut out 5 various sized paper pumpkins, and then we sequenced them in order from the smallest to the largest (or largest to smallest).  We needed our thinking skills for that!

  During the Learning Carpet Time today, this group of kids was practicing putting numbers in order from 1-10, and identifying the numbers that come BEFORE or AFTER a given number. These 2 words can be confusing.

Bus Ridership

Today Bus Driver Bob stopped by our school to teach all classes about how to ride the bus safely. We learned about how to sit properly and safely, the 4 different ways to exit the bus in case of an emergency, and we also got to practice exiting the bus safely from the back door!!!!  Some other points were....

• do not go behind the bus (Daytonna)
• do not go under the bus (Annalynn)
• wait until the bar comes out to cross in front (whole class contribution)
• do not go in the danger zone (Remington)
• don't jump out of the back door... (Grace)
• ....unless there is an emergency! (Sophie)

Of course today was a great day to sing the song 

"The Wheels On the Bus".

And we did a Smart Board activity where we had to identify the number and put that many people on the bus!!
