ABOUT THE BIG BUS 2.0:

Covering skills for students from PreK to grade 6, The Big Bus addresses and is aligned to core learning standards as well as developing 21st century thinking skills.

What's in each world:
• Enchanted World - PreK students learn keyboarding, counting, and letter recognition, and develop problem solving skills and spatial awareness.
• Adventurers' World - K-grade 2 students test math skills, practice sight words, and explore reference books to develop information gathering skills.
• Explorers' World - Students grades 3 to 6 utilize a problem-solving, interactive environment to learn STEM skills, including LOGO and forces and motion, as well as develop writing skills within content areas.
What teachers are saying:
“I particularly like the ease of use that the Big Bus offers, as my students are able to use it on their own. The cognitive concepts targeted are all very developmentally appropriate and the simple skills also reach the needs of delayed learners, making it a truly universal tool for the classroom.”
