Soon, I will be walking to school on my own. This will help me feel confident and independent

I'm so excited

I can try to leave on time, take my things, and remember the route I use

I can follow safety rules like staying on the pavement, look both ways and follow green light while crossing the road

Sometimes it can get noisy, but I can try to stay calm

It's ok. I can do it

If I feel lost, overwhelmed or not sure about some thing, I can call or text an adult

When I reach school safely, I feel proud and ready for my day

Bring it on!
