About This Worksheet
Children who feel good about school are more ready to learn. These pages focus on what makes school fun: friends, books, play and teachers, and on the habits that help children learn.
Children circle what they like about school, match jobs to what they want to be, fill a backpack with school items, think about what makes us smart, colour I love to learn, reach the classroom through a maze, sort good learning habits, trace school words, tick or cross and match people who help us learn.
