Sequencing worksheet for children, featuring plant growth and a story about Betty's birthday surprise.

Let's solve both parts of this sequencing worksheet step by step.

1. Sequencing the Events of "My First Plant"

We are given five images showing stages of growing a plant. We need to number them in the correct order from first to last.

Here are the images and what they show:

1. Image 1: A watering can pouring water into a pot with seeds or soil — this is watering.
2. Image 2: Seeds being poured into a pot — this is planting seeds.
3. Image 3: A fully grown flower in the pot — this is the final stage, the plant has bloomed.
4. Image 4: A small sprout emerging from the soil — this is germination.
5. Image 5: A shovel putting soil into a pot — this is preparing the pot with soil.

Now, let’s put these in the correct sequence:

- First: Add soil → Image 5
- Second: Plant seeds → Image 2
- Third: Water the seeds → Image 1
- Fourth: Seed grows into a sprout → Image 4
- Fifth: Flower blooms → Image 3

✔ So, the correct sequence is:

> 5, 2, 1, 4, 3

Now, write these numbers under the corresponding pictures:

```
[Image 1: Watering] [Image 2: Seeds] [Image 3: Flower] [Image 4: Sprout] [Image 5: Soil]
1 2 3 4 5
```

Wait! The images are shown in a different order than described above.

Let’s look at the image order on the worksheet:

From left to right:

1. Watering (blue watering can)
2. Seeds being dropped (brown dots falling into pot)
3. Flower blooming
4. Sprout growing
5. Shovel adding soil

So we need to assign the correct sequence number to each image in the order shown.

Let’s match each image to its position in the real growth process:

- Image 1 (Watering): This happens after planting, so it's step 3.
- Image 2 (Seeds being dropped): This is step 2.
- Image 3 (Flower): Final stage — step 5.
- Image 4 (Sprout): After watering, before flowering — step 4.
- Image 5 (Soil added): First step — step 1.

So the correct numbers under each picture (left to right) are:

> 3, 2, 5, 4, 1

✔ Answer for Part 1:
```
[Watering] [Seeds] [Flower] [Sprout] [Soil]
3 2 5 4 1
```

2. Complete the Table – Sequence of Events for Betty's Birthday Surprise

We are given a story about Betty planning a birthday surprise for her mom. We need to number the events in the correct chronological order.

Let’s read and analyze each sentence:

1. "One day, Betty decided that she wanted to surprise her mom on her birthday."
→ This is the starting point — her idea begins here.
→ Step 1

2. "She thought of getting her a nice necklace, but she did not have enough money to buy one."
→ This comes after deciding to surprise her — she considers an option but rejects it.
→ Step 2

3. "Then she thought she could take her out to lunch, but that would not really be a surprise."
→ Another idea, but also rejected because it’s not a surprise.
→ Step 3

4. "So, Betty decided to bake a special chocolate cake for her mom. It took her a long time, but she declared happily, 'Mom loves chocolate!'"
→ This is the decision to bake the cake — the plan is formed.
→ Step 4

5. "Finally, Betty's cake was ready, and it was delicious. Her mom was very happy that Betty made it herself. She hugged Betty and said, 'Thank you for the best birthday present ever!'"
→ The final result — the cake is done and delivered.
→ Step 5

Now, fill in the table:

| Event | Number |
|------|--------|
| She thought of getting her a nice necklace, but she did not have enough money to buy one. | 2 |
| One day, Betty decided that she wanted to surprise her mom on her birthday. | 1 |
| Then she thought she could take her out to lunch, but that would not really be a surprise. | 3 |
| Finally, Betty's cake was ready, and it was delicious. Her mom was very happy that Betty made it herself. She hugged Betty and said, “Thank you for the best birthday present ever!” | 5 |
| So, Betty decided to bake a special chocolate cake for her mom. It took her a long time, but she declared happily, “Mom loves chocolate!” | 4 |

✔ Final Answer for Part 2:

| Event | Number |
|------|--------|
| She thought of getting her a nice necklace, but she did not have enough money to buy one. | 2 |
| One day, Betty decided that she wanted to surprise her mom on her birthday. | 1 |
| Then she thought she could take her out to lunch, but that would not really be a surprise. | 3 |
| Finally, Betty's cake was ready, and it was delicious. Her mom was very happy that Betty made it herself. She hugged Betty and said, “Thank you for the best birthday present ever!” | 5 |
| So, Betty decided to bake a special chocolate cake for her mom. It took her a long time, but she declared happily, “Mom loves chocolate!” | 4 |

✔ Final Answers:

#### Part 1: Plant Sequence
Under the pictures (left to right):
> 3, 2, 5, 4, 1

#### Part 2: Story Sequence
| Sentence | Number |
|--------|--------|
| She thought of getting her a nice necklace... | 2 |
