ALASKA ACADEMY: TEACHING KIDS TRAFFIC SAFETY

As the children at Alaska Academy ride to school each day, they often notice the many road signs lining the streets, sparking their curiosity about their meaning and purpose.

This week, the teachers at Alaska Academy have addressed the children’s questions through an engaging learning topic: Traffic Signs. The kids not only discuss the different types of signs with their teachers, but they also have hands-on opportunities to color and create their own small, meaningful signs.

The most exciting part is when the children go outside to play and take on the roles of different vehicles, actively identifying various traffic signs as they move around. This interactive approach helps the kids better understand and internalize the importance of traffic safety.

The teacher has also taught the children a poem about traffic lights, which parents can read with their kids at home, allowing the whole family to practice traffic safety together.
