The kindergarteners were able to get up close and personal with Phoenix’s city transportation Valley Metro driver and bus unit. The students were introduced to the important parts of the city bus. They were also educated about the safety procedures of using a mode of transportation provided by the city. The students got to drop their “imaginary bus coin” into the fare box. The highlight of the in-school field trip was a chance to be the driver as they sat in the driver’s seat and hold the steering wheel. They also got to announce to their “passengers” where they were headed to! This visit was in conjunction with our ELA Wonders Curriculum and our Social Studies standard regarding the different community helpers and the jobs available in our community. Check out our Gallery to see for yourself how much the students enjoyed the visit!
