5 first tell students: on my way to school, I need to cross 4
roads. Then ask: How about you? Ask them to count.
6 most of us need to cross several roads on our way to school. Ask them to think about how to complete these 2 sentences:
On our way to school, we must be careful when we cross the road.
We should stop at the red lights and walk at the green lights.
