What do you pass on your daily commute? Some of our families bike, bus, drive, or walk to school. Being an island community, this book is attractive to show some of the sounds and sights that our students don’t see on a daily basis.

Pick up a copy at your library or book store. The simple text makes for a great read a loud. After reading, see how many different ways your school community gets to the door each day. We tried this as an all school survey. See below the chart that the 4 year old students filled out with their teacher.
