What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Children put familiar events in order and tell what happened first or next. They talk about something they did the day before and something they plan to do the next day.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A child puts waking up, eating breakfast, and arriving at school in order. They say breakfast came before school and name a real event from yesterday and a plan for tomorrow.
Common Misconceptions
- Some children use yesterday for anything in the past, even last week. Others reverse before and after or talk about a plan for tomorrow as if it already happened.
How to Assess It
- Give each child three boxes labeled yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Ask them to draw or tell one real event from yesterday, one from today, and one plan for tomorrow.

Ways to Teach It
Give children picture cards showing waking up, getting dressed, and eating breakfast to arrange and describe in order.
Ask partners, "What did you do yesterday, and what do you plan to do tomorrow?"
Race to place handwashing and cleanup picture cards before or after a lunch picture, then explain each choice.
Check the class schedule and name what comes before lunch and what comes after lunch.
