Classroom Connections: Circle the Classroom Items!

How to use this worksheet

Look at all the pictures on the page with your child first, naming each item out loud before deciding whether it belongs in a classroom. Ask your child to explain why an item does or doesn't belong before circling it, rather than circling based on which pictures they simply like. Work through the page item by item rather than scanning quickly, since some items may be tricky, like a book that could belong at home or school. Review the circled items together at the end and talk through any surprises.
