This medium worksheet uses a step-by-step peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich to help second graders practice sequencing. Part A's nine fill-in-the-blanks weave in signal words like 'first,' 'next,' 'then,' 'before,' and 'finally,' connecting them to bread slices, peanut butter, and jelly. Part B is a four-pair matching activity where students line up steps like 'Get two slices of bread,' 'Spread peanut butter on one slice,' 'Add jelly on top,' and 'Put the slices together and eat' with their place in the order — first, second, third, or last. Students walk away ready to retell how-to steps in confident, correct order.

Sequencing Events
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. To make a sandwich, first get two slices of bread.
2. After spreading peanut butter, next add the jelly.
3. The last step is to put the two slices together.
4. The word 'before' tells us something happened earlier in time.
5. When we retell how to make something, we list the steps in order.
6. The word 'then' means the same as 'after that' in a sequence.
7. You must spread peanut butter before you put the bread slices together.
8. Signal words help a reader follow the sequence of events.
9. 'Finally, eat your sandwich!' tells us this is the last event.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
Get two slices of bread.
→ 1st - The first step
2nd - The second step
Spread peanut butter on one slice.
→ 2nd - The second step
4th - The last step
Add jelly on top of the peanut butter.
→ 3rd - The third step
1st - The first step
Put the slices together and eat.
→ 4th - The last step
3rd - The third step
