Set 1. Prints on its own sheet.
It practises telling about an event in the order it happened — 2 questions for Kindergarten, all on Common Core W.K.3: Draw and write about something that happened, in the order it happened. The instruction to pupils is “Draw in the space, then write on the lines”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.K.3 — W.K.3, in the Writing domain for Kindergarten. The published standard reads: “Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to narrate a single event or several loosely linked events, tell about the events in the order in which they occurred, and provide a reaction to what happened.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
Something That Happened is written for Kindergarten, typically ages 5-6. It is one of the sheets on W.K.3, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Yes. All 2 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
25 versions, of which 15 ask genuinely different questions — this skill does not have 25 distinct questions to give, so the rest reorder them and no two pupils still share a paper. Set 1 downloads all 25 as one PDF.
Yes. Something That Happened, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
