Teacher Notes:
Use this worksheet as a kindergarten review for sequencing, identifying stages, and understanding that some things change over time. Suggested classroom use: whole-group review, independent practice, or a small-group center. Differentiation: support struggling learners with picture cues, oral read-aloud, and partner help; challenge advanced learners by asking them to explain their thinking or create their own simple sequence. Extension idea: have students draw a 3-step life cycle or place picture cards in order.
