What does this worksheet teach?

"Which one is not alive?" (four rows) has four rows of four labeled pictures, and in each row the child circles the one that does not belong. Row one is cow, duck, pig and tractor; row four is ant, bee, ladybug and kite. It practices telling living things from nonliving things. An answer key is included.
Can I use this living and nonliving worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for Preschool living things, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with living and nonliving. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
