so on.
3. Show the pictures at circle time and ask the children to tell each other what is
happening in the photo.
4. Use a pocket chart to put the pictures in the correct order from first to last.
5. Leave the photos at a table and let the children practice putting them in
sequential order.
More to do

sequential order. Ask them to explain what is happening in their picture.
Home Connection: Ask the parents to help the children write and draw pictures
of what happens during their day.
Math: Buy two copies of a book one to read and one to cut up. Ask the
children to put the story in sequential order.
