Julian kneels by the class garden bed and checks the tool tub. The class plans to plant radish seeds during the next outdoor block. A muddy hand trowel sits inside the watering can. The teacher wants the bed tidy and the seed row ready. Julian can move the picture card later, but the tools matter too. There are 25 minutes left in the garden block.
Add the minutes, decide whether all tasks fit, and choose the best set for Julian.
| Task | Minutes |
|---|---|
| Rinse the muddy hand trowel and empty the watering can | |
| Return each garden tool to the tool tub | |
| Pull weeds from the radish row | |
| Make a straight seed groove | |
| Move the picture card to the front stake |
Time available: 25 minutes
Think about it: Which task can wait with the least effect on planting, and what makes that choice work?
