Review counting backward from 10 using fingers.

Lesson 1:

I can use fingers to subtract small numbers. ( I put down a finger each time I count a number.)

Practice :

• Show me 5 fingers.  Take away 3 (count) fingers.  How many fingers are you left holding up?
• Show me 4 fingers.  Take away 1 (count) fingers.  How many fingers are you left holding up?

Lesson 2:

I can subtract with objects to 5. (I use small objects to help me subtract and find the answer.)

Practice:

• Show me 4 objects.  Take away 2.  How many are left?  This is how we write a subtraction sentence.   4 – 2 = 2.
• Show me 3 objects. Take away 1.  How many are left?  This is how we write a subtraction sentence.  3 – 1 = 2.

Lesson 3:

I can subtract with pictures to 5. ( I cross out pictures to find out the answer to the equation.)

Practice:

• Draw 5 pictures.  Cross off 2.  How many are left?  5 – 2 = 3.
• Draw 4 pictures.  Cross off 3.  How many are left? 4 – 3 = 1.

Make up your own subtraction sentences.

We have been exploring the characteristics of the four seasons.

We are fortunate to live in an area that has four seasons. There are some areas of the world that only have one season. Can you guess where that might be? (Think of a place that is hot all year
round or cold all year round.)

Watch this video. Think about how each season affects that activities that we do.
