Sequence the story events with numbered boxes and illustrations.

Let’s think about the story step by step.

We need to put the events in order from 1 to 4 — meaning, what happened first, second, third, and last.

Here are the four events:

- Mark played with his friends at recess.
- Mark’s dog was ready to play when Mark got home after school.
- Mark went to the bus stop.
- Mark took the bus to school.

Now let’s think about a normal school day for Mark:

First, he has to get to school. So before anything else, he goes to the bus stop → that’s event #1.

Then, he takes the bus to school → that’s event #2.

At school, during recess, he plays with his friends → that’s event #3.

After school, he comes home, and then his dog is ready to play → that’s event #4.

So the correct order is:

1. Mark went to the bus stop.
2. Mark took the bus to school.
3. Mark played with his friends at recess.
4. Mark’s dog was ready to play when Mark got home after school.

Final Answer:
1 – Mark went to the bus stop.
2 – Mark took the bus to school.
3 – Mark played with his friends at recess.
4 – Mark’s dog was ready to play when Mark got home after school.
