Which item is explicitly included in the Kindergarten through 3rd grade O&M goals?

In kindergarten through third grade, orientation and mobility goals center on safe, supervised navigation and foundational street-crossing skills. Crossing a street with a guide directly targets this early safety objective: it teaches the essential process of traveling from one side to the other under guidance, including how to stay oriented, follow the guide’s directions, and use appropriate crossing practices. This sets the stage for independent travel later on. The other ideas aren’t typically part of those early goals. Reading traffic reports is a more advanced literacy and planning task that goes beyond foundational O&M for young children. Using a GPS app focuses on independent technology use rather than the core, early mobility skill of crossing streets with assistance. Scanning for exit signs from a distance addresses broader environmental awareness and may come later as skills expand, not as a primary kindergarten through third grade objective.
