Let's solve the "Order of Events" worksheet titled
"A Trip to the Library" step by step.

Step 1: Read the Story Carefully
Here is the story:
>
Gina woke up on Saturday morning. "Can I go to the library today?" she asked her mother. Her mother agreed to take Gina to the library while they were out running some errands. After breakfast, they went to the hardware store. Then they went to the grocery store. Then Gina’s mother stopped to visit a friend. Finally, they got to the library. Gina talked to the librarian while Gina selected some books. Gina used her library card to check out the books. Then she and her mother went home. Gina read one of her library books until dinner time.

Step 2: Identify the Key Events in the Story
We need to list the events in the order they happened:
1.
Gina woke up → This is the beginning.
2.
Gina asked if she could go to the library.
3.
After breakfast, they went to the
hardware store.
4. Then they went to the
grocery store.
5. Then they
stopped to visit a friend.
6.
Finally, they got to the library.
7.
Gina selected some books.
8.
Gina checked out the books.
9. They
went home.
10.
Gina read one of her library books until dinner.
Now, we are given five choices to number from 1 to 5. Let’s match them with the correct sequence.
---
Step 3: Match the Given Options to the Sequence
The options to number are:
- ☐ Gina selected some books.
- ☐Gina asked if she could go to the library.
- ☐Gina read one of her library books.
- ☐Gina and her mother went to the hardware store.
- ☐Gina and her mother went to the grocery store.
Let’s determine the correct order of these specific events:
1.
Gina asked if she could go to the library.
→ This happens
right after waking up, before any errands. So this is
#1.
2.
Gina and her mother went to the hardware store.
→ Happens
after breakfast, so next in line.
#2.
3.
Gina and her mother went to the grocery store.
→ After the hardware store.
#3.
4.
Gina selected some books.
→ This happens
at the library, which is
last among the stops. So
#4.
5.
Gina read one of her library books.
→ Happens
after going home, so it's the
final event listed.
#5.

✔ Explanation:
- The story begins with Gina waking up and asking to go to the library.
- Then, after breakfast, they go to the hardware store (first errand).
- Then the grocery store (second errand).
- Then visiting a friend (third errand).
- Then finally, they reach the library.
- At the library, Gina selects and checks out books.
- After that, they go home.
- Finally, Gina reads a book at home until dinner.
So, only the
five listed events are to be ordered — and their correct sequence is as above.
