Yesterday I posted a clip of one of my Level 1 students using place value and what she already knew to figure out 15 + 15.

In Level 2, we were working on the same concept, just a little more advanced.

This time, the bonus question was 45 + 45. I wanted them to think about 50 + 50, a more familiar fact, and use that to help them figure out the answer.

But obviously, my students had their own ways of solving it. 😂

Yesterday we were reviewing doubles addition facts in Level 1.

After we finished 12 + 12, I threw out a bonus question:
“What’s 15 + 15?”

Shastika immediately said 30.

Getting the answer right was great, but what made me so happy was HOW she figured it out.

She knew 10 + 10 = 20 and 5 + 5 = 10, so she broke apart the 15s and put them back together: 20 + 10 = 30.

And THIS is exactly what I've been trying to teach my students to do in math.

I grew up learning math procedurally and through memorization. I was shown HOW to solve something, I memorized the procedure, and I used it. I think this is part of the reason I sometimes have a hard time looking at numbers in different ways even now.

Over the last couple of years, I've changed the way I teach (and learn) math. Of course I still want my students to memorize their math facts, but I also want them to understand how numbers work together... break them apart, look for patterns, use base ten, and use things they already know to figure out things they don't.

So when a student does exactly that on her own, without me telling her what strategy to use...YESSSSSS. It's working. 😇

Yesterday, on the first day of Fall classes, I asked my students what their favorite subject in school was.

It started with one subject... then two... then three... and apparently by the time we got to Afreen, the answer was basically just school. 😂

I guess our students just love to learn (and that's our goal fyi 😃).

Today is the first day of the Fall Semester for the 2026–2027 (6...7 😂) school year!

AAA+ might be a virtual school, but just like (I'm sure) every classroom, there is ALWAYS that one student who does that one thing... without fail. And somehow, every class has its own version.

It's basically the opposite of end-of-the-year superlatives. These are the beginning-of-the-year superlatives, except we don't know who has earned each title yet.

In an in-person classroom, the teacher might wonder, "Who's going to be this year's troublemaker?" or "Who's going to ask for a hall pass every day?" (Assuming hall passes are still a thing.)
Virtual school has its own characters.

The kid who snacks through the entire class. The one who asks if we're playing a game today EVERY DAY. The one who communicates exclusively through the chat. The one who somehow finishes five pages of homework before I've even closed my laptop for the night.

We might occasionally get a kid who falls asleep in class, but that's about as troublesome as it gets around here. 😂
So here are my predictions for this year's AAA+ superlatives.
Here's to a new school year.

Good luck to us! 😂

Okay okay...we can't promise 1,000 pages in 3 minutes... 😂
but we CAN give them a head start.

We still have openings in Pre-K & Kindergarten for the Fall...the PERFECT time to begin their journey to 333 pages per minute. 😂😂😂

Fall classes start Monday!

Yesterday, I posted about how I have high expectations for students...and this is definitely true. It just shows up in different ways. 😬

Virtually, I am pleasant and “practically perfect in every way,” à la Mary Poppins.

In person...well...apparently my teaching style is a little more Judge Judy for preschoolers. 😂

Hey...it takes a lot to maintain patience and composure while dancing and hootin' like Barney just to get preschoolers to sit down for circle time and line up in a straight line...much less teach them how to read.

I do miss teaching in person a lot. After five years of teaching virtually, though, I just might have learned enough patience to be Mary Poppins in person by now too. 😂

P.S. Excuse my scary grimace and sorry if it scared you. 😂

Ms. Sara sent me these pictures of Christian on his first day of Pre-K donning his “First Day of PreK headband.”

Having been a Pre-K teacher myself for many years, I know this headband very well... and being the high-expectations teacher that I am, the first thing I noticed was that he scribbled all over it.

So naturally, I called him out. 😂

Ms. Sara, being the overachiever that she is, took that personally and decided he needed a coloring lesson.

She sends me his finished product and tells me she motivated him by saying:

“Ira thought your coloring sucked so you need to show her this one.”

AND HE KEPT AT IT. 😂😂😂

And voila. Look at that coloring.

No one is immune to Ms. Ira’s standards. Not even my own nephew. 😂

We’re officially into week 2 of school for most of us! And if you have a high-achieving student, you may already be realizing they need a little more than what they’re getting during the school day.

If you’re looking into enrichment but you’re STILL hesitant about virtual learning vs. your local tutoring center...

Here’s a handy dandy chart. 😂
