School Bus Safety!

Yesterday our PreK kids got to explore a school bus in preparation for kindergarten. We had the best bus driver, Ms. Kim. Ms. Kim was so informative and kind to our Pre-Kindergarteners.

She showed them the bar that comes out of the front of the bus that they can walk in front of. The bar shows the kids where to walk so that the bus driver can see whos in front of the bus. Ms. Kims is a bus driver for special education students, so we got to see all the modifications made on the bus to cater all kinds of needs. She showed Ms. Madison's class how they get wheelchairs up the ramp and onto the bus.

We talked about the importance of wearing your seatbelt and only talking to the friend next to you so that the bus driver can keep everyone safe. Our Pre-K kids were certainly in awe of the bus and Ms. Kims knowledge that she could share!

Don't forget to vote for us for Best of Parenting Magazine! Today we will have a booth up by our fish tank as a reminded with lots of goodies to take home!
