Let’s read the story carefully and figure out what happens first, next, and last.

The story says:

> Buzz! My clock wakes me.
> First, I get out of bed.
> Next, I brush my teeth.
> Last, I get dressed for school.

So we can break it down like this:

- First: The child gets out of bed. (That’s after the clock buzzes — but the buzzing is just the wake-up signal, not an action the child does yet.)
- Next: After getting out of bed, the child brushes their teeth.
- Last: After brushing teeth, the child gets dressed for school.

Now let’s look at the pictures below:

1. Left picture: A kid waking up in bed with a clock buzzing → This matches “Buzz! My clock wakes me.” But note — the story says “First, I get out of bed,” so waking up is the trigger, but the *first action* is getting out of bed.
2. Middle picture: A kid standing in pajamas holding toothbrush → This looks like they’re about to brush or just finished? Actually, since it says “Next, I brush my teeth,” this should be the middle step.
3. Right picture: A kid brushing teeth at sink → Wait, that seems more active than the middle one. Let’s think again.

Actually, looking closely:

- Left image: Kid still in bed, alarm going off → This is BEFORE getting out of bed. So maybe this isn’t one of the three steps? But the instructions say to cut out the pictures and glue them in order. There are exactly 3 boxes and 3 pictures.

Wait — perhaps the left image shows the moment right after waking up, starting to get out of bed? The kid is sitting up, reaching toward the clock. That could represent “getting out of bed.”

Middle image: Kid standing in pajamas, holding toothbrush — maybe preparing to brush? Or already brushed?

Right image: Kid actively brushing teeth at sink.

But the story says:

→ First: get out of bed
→ Next: brush teeth
→ Last: get dressed

None of the images clearly show “getting dressed” — unless... wait, maybe I misread.

Looking again:

Left image: Kid in bed, alarm ringing — probably represents “waking up / getting out of bed”

Middle image: Kid standing in clothes? No — actually, she’s wearing pajamas and holding a toothbrush — so likely “brushing teeth” phase

Right image: Kid at sink brushing teeth — also brushing teeth?

Hmm, that doesn’t make sense — two brushing teeth images?

Wait — maybe the middle image is “after brushing teeth”? She’s holding the toothbrush but not using it — maybe done brushing?

And the right image is actively brushing.

But the story only has one “brush teeth” step.

Perhaps there’s a mistake in interpretation.

Let me re-read the story:

“Buzz! My clock wakes me.
First, I get out of bed.
Next, I brush my teeth.
Last, I get dressed for school.”

So the sequence of actions by the child is:

1. Get out of bed
2. Brush teeth
3. Get dressed

Now match to images:

Image 1 (left): Child in bed, reaching for alarm — this is part of “getting out of bed” — so this should go under “First”

Image 2 (middle): Child standing, holding toothbrush, still in pajamas — this might be “before brushing” or “after”? But if she’s holding the toothbrush, maybe she’s about to brush — so this would be “Next”

Image 3 (right): Child actively brushing teeth at sink — this is definitely “brushing teeth” — so also “Next”? But we can’t have two “Next”.

Wait — perhaps the middle image is meant to be “getting dressed”? But she’s in pajamas and holding a toothbrush — no, that doesn’t fit.

Another idea: Maybe the middle image is “after brushing teeth”, and the right image is “during brushing teeth” — but again, the story treats “brush teeth” as one step.

Perhaps the images are not perfectly clear, but based on standard morning routines and the text, we must assign:

- First: Getting out of bed → Image 1 (child rising from bed)
- Next: Brushing teeth → Which image? Both 2 and 3 involve toothbrush. But Image 3 shows active brushing at sink — that’s more accurate for “brush my teeth”. Image 2 shows child standing with toothbrush — maybe she’s walking to bathroom? Still, “brush my teeth” implies the act of brushing.

But then what about “get dressed”? None of the images show dressing. Unless… Image 2 is supposed to be after brushing, and she’s now getting dressed? But she’s still in pajamas.

This is confusing.

Wait — let’s look at the labels under the boxes: “First”, “Next”, “Last”

And the images are labeled implicitly by position.

Perhaps the intended matching is:

- First: Image 1 — getting out of bed (child rising)
- Next: Image 3 — brushing teeth (active brushing at sink)
- Last: Image 2 — ??? But she’s holding toothbrush — maybe it’s a mistake? Or perhaps Image 2 is meant to be “getting dressed” but drawn poorly?

Alternatively, maybe Image 2 is “after brushing teeth”, and she’s now going to get dressed — but she’s not shown dressing.

I think there might be an error in the worksheet design, but based on common sense and the text, here’s the logical assignment:

The story says:

1. First: get out of bed → Image 1 (child getting out of bed)
2. Next: brush teeth → Image 3 (child brushing teeth at sink)
3. Last: get dressed → But none of the images show dressing. Image 2 shows child standing with toothbrush — perhaps it’s meant to represent “after brushing, before dressing”? But that’s not an action listed.

Wait — maybe Image 2 is “getting dressed”? But she’s in pajamas and holding toothbrush — unlikely.

Another possibility: Perhaps the middle image is “brushing teeth” and the right image is something else? No, right image is clearly brushing.

Let me check online or recall similar worksheets — often in such sequences, the images are:

- Waking up / getting out of bed
- Brushing teeth
- Getting dressed

Here, Image 1: waking/getting out
Image 3: brushing teeth
Image 2: ? — if she’s standing and holding toothbrush, maybe she’s done brushing and now getting dressed? But visually, it’s ambiguous.

Perhaps the intended answer is:

First: Image 1 (getting out of bed)
Next: Image 2 (holding toothbrush — implying brushing teeth)
Last: Image 3 (brushing teeth — but that would be duplicate)

No, that doesn't work.

Wait — maybe I have the images wrong. Let's describe them precisely as per typical depiction:

In many such worksheets:

- Left image: child in bed, alarm ringing — represents "wake up" or "get out of bed"
- Middle image: child standing in bathroom, holding toothbrush — represents "brush teeth"
- Right image: child at sink, brushing — also "brush teeth"? That can't be.

Unless the right image is "rinsing mouth" or something, but it's not specified.

Perhaps the middle image is "getting dressed" — but why is she holding a toothbrush?

I think there might be a flaw in the image set, but based on the text, we must follow the story.

The story explicitly states the order:

1. Get out of bed
2. Brush teeth
3. Get dressed

Since there are three images and three slots, and Image 1 clearly shows getting out of bed, that goes first.

Then, between Image 2 and 3, which one is "brush teeth"? Image 3 shows active brushing, so that should be "next".

Then Image 2 must be "last" — getting dressed. Even though she's holding a toothbrush, perhaps it's a drawing error, or she's holding it while getting dressed? Unlikely, but possible.

Maybe in Image 2, she's putting on clothes, and the toothbrush is incidental? But she's holding it prominently.

Another idea: Perhaps "brush my teeth" includes both preparing and doing it, but the story lists it as one step.

I recall that in some versions of this worksheet, the images are:

- Getting out of bed
- Brushing teeth
- Getting dressed

And the "brushing teeth" image is the one at the sink.

So likely:

- First: Image 1 (getting out of bed)
- Next: Image 3 (brushing teeth at sink)
- Last: Image 2 — but what is Image 2? If she's standing and holding toothbrush, maybe it's meant to be "after brushing, getting dressed", but visually it's not clear.

Perhaps Image 2 is "getting dressed" and the toothbrush is a red herring, or she's carrying it to put away.

To resolve this, let's assume that the images are meant to be matched as follows based on standard interpretation:

- Image 1: First — getting out of bed
- Image 3: Next — brushing teeth (since it's active brushing)
- Image 2: Last — getting dressed (even though she's holding toothbrush, perhaps it's a mistake, or she's done brushing and now dressing)

But that feels forced.

Let's look for clues in the images themselves.

In Image 2: The child is standing, smiling, holding toothbrush, and appears to be in a room — possibly bedroom or hallway. In Image 3: at sink, brushing.

Perhaps Image 2 is "after brushing teeth", and she's now going to get dressed, so it represents the transition to "last" step.

But the story says "last, I get dressed", so the image should show dressing.

I think there's a problem with the image set, but for the sake of completing the task, we'll go with the most logical assignment based on the text and common sense.

Final decision:

- First: Image 1 (child getting out of bed) — matches "First, I get out of bed."
- Next: Image 3 (child brushing teeth at sink) — matches "Next, I brush my teeth."
- Last: Image 2 (child standing with toothbrush) — even though it's not ideal, it must represent "getting dressed" as the final step, perhaps implying she's done brushing and now dressing.

But wait — in Image 2, she's still in pajamas, and in Image 3, she's also in pajamas while brushing. Typically, you brush teeth before getting dressed, so after brushing, you get dressed.

So Image 2 might be intended to show her getting dressed, but the artist forgot to change her clothes or added the toothbrush by mistake.

Given that, I'll proceed with:

First: Image 1
Next: Image 3
Last: Image 2

But let's double-check with the story flow.

Story:
- Buzz! Clock wakes me. (not an action to sequence, just context)
- First: get out of bed → Image 1
- Next: brush teeth → Image 3 (active brushing)
- Last: get dressed → Image 2 (assumed to be dressing, despite toothbrush)

Yes.

Some might argue that Image 2 is "brushing teeth" and Image 3 is something else, but Image 3 is clearly brushing at sink.

Another way: perhaps "brush my teeth" is represented by Image 2, and Image 3 is "rinse" or "finish", but the story doesn't say that.

I think the safest bet is to follow the text literally and match the actions.

So:

- "Get out of bed" → Image 1
- "Brush my teeth" → Image 3 (most direct representation)
- "Get dressed" → Image 2 (by elimination, and assuming it's meant to be dressing)

Therefore, the sequence is:

First: Image 1
Next: Image 3
Last: Image 2

But let's confirm with the positions.

The boxes are labeled:

[Box1] [Box2] [Box3]
First Next Last

Images below are in order: Image1, Image2, Image3 from left to right.

So we need to assign each image to a box.

Based on above:

- Box "First": Image1
- Box "Next": Image3
- Box "Last": Image2

So the glued order would be: Image1 in First, Image3 in Next, Image2 in Last.

But typically, students cut out the images and paste them in the boxes in order.

So the final answer should specify which image goes where.

Since the user didn't ask for explanation, and options are false, I'll just provide the final answer as the sequence.

But the instruction is to solve the problem, which is to sequence the pictures.

So the correct order is:

First: the picture of the child getting out of bed (left image)
Next: the picture of the child brushing teeth at the sink (right image)
Last: the picture of the child standing with toothbrush (middle image) — assuming it represents getting dressed.

To be precise, let's label the images as A, B, C from left to right.

Image A: child in bed, alarm ringing
Image B: child standing, holding toothbrush
Image C: child at sink, brushing teeth

Sequence:

First: A
Next: C
Last: B

Yes.

Final Answer:
First: Image A (child getting out of bed)
Next: Image C (child brushing teeth at sink)
Last: Image B (child standing with toothbrush, representing getting dressed)
