Learn about how school buses safely stop near homes and schools to pick up children with sliding windows.
Okay, imagine a big yellow bus, called a school bus, that picks up kids for school. When the bus gets close to where kids live, it stops on the street. This is important because it helps keep everyone safe while getting on or off.
The bus has a special feature—a sliding window! This window opens up so the driver can talk to the kids if they need to. For example, if the driver sees a child waiting to get on the bus, they can open the sliding window and say, 'Hi there! Come on in!' It makes it easier for kids to hear the driver.
Schools and homes are important spots because that's where many kids need to get on the bus to go to school. So, when you see a school bus, always remember to wait safely until it stops, and be careful near the sliding window!
