- Peter uses a rope to catch the wolf by the tail.
- The hunters help Peter bring the wolf back to the zoo.
Activity: Draw a picture of one important detail from "Peter and the Wolf."
Sight Words: Read the word of the week "play." Have your child use it in a sentence. If your child is able to independently identify the word "play" you can begin to encourage them dictate and write a simple sentence. For example: I can play with my toy. I like to play with my Mom. We will play with the ball.
Math: Children will represent "take from with result unknown" story problems using number sentences.
Discussion: Explain to your child that taking away represents what we call subtraction.
Have them create their own story about taking away with objects around them.
Have your child draw pictures and show how to take away by crossing out the objects and counting what is left. Later on, we will introduce how they can subtract by counting backwards, however for now the best way is showing them visuals by having them draw pictures to represent the subtraction story.
Vocabulary:
Take away - to subtract one number or value from another.
minus sign - (-)
Activity: Smarttech Link: Subtraction Stories
Activity: Math Workbook Complete pg.s 387- 388 Take Away
Have your child write the number sentence as well for extra practice.
For example: #1 on pg. 387 (5 apples take away 2 apples makes 3 apples left. Explain that sentence is the same as 5 - 2 = 3)
