As we keep moving in math, the students are starting to realize the importance of knowing their addition and subtraction facts quickly. Today they reviewed a few subtraction strategies- counting back and counting up. While the end goal is for students to figure know the basic facts without additional help (fingers, counters, number lines, etc.) right now as they learn them these tools can be very helpful.
Next week we will be starting addition and subtraction timed tests. These will be done once a week and are more for practice than actual testing. I encourage you to begin (if you are not already) practicing facts each evening to help prepare them! I will send home a letter explaining the procedures when we begin!

Life in a second grade classroom
About your teacher
- Mrs. Eshbaugh
- I am a mom of a 2 year old, Kailyn. We just moved to Medina this summer and love being a part of the community near Highland. Some of my favorite things to do are hiking, playing (tea party, on the swing set, blocks- whatever a little 2 year old chooses), reading, and visiting any beach. I am so excited about this school year and the wonderful possibilities that it holds for our class!
