Acadia
Signals for Safety
Overview
Starting with the Acadia National Park quarter, the students will research on the park’s website, listen to a text, and discuss the importance of safety signals. The students will create a class list of safety signs and signals and use the “Show Me the Signs and Signals” worksheet to match signs with vehicles. They will create a new safety sign or symbol that can be used at school. They will also write a paragraph comparing a lighthouse to another safety signal.
