This is about what you do when we are out in the community — on the train, on the bus, and on the street. Tap the best answer, put the steps in order, and write what you would say. The page checks the tapped and numbered answers for you.
🎉 You got them all. That is exactly how we travel.
1Before We Go
Getting ready before you leave school means you are not looking for something later, when you should be watching the traffic or the train.
Before I leave, I have:
My school ID badge
My water bottle
My CharlieCard or bus pass
My jacket, if it is cold
My phone, put away in my bag
Tick these off for yourself. They are not scored.
