Once more for the people in the back: STOP ASKING KIDS TO MEMORIZE THEIR TIMES TABLES. If your goal is fluency, guess what? Memorization isn't going to help with that. It will provide automaticity (maybe) if they remember them correctly, but it will mostly cause anxiety/stress.

Best planning decision I’ve made since COVID began: I plan a week at a time, but run my weeks Tuesdays to Mondays (instead of M-F). This means I’m always ready at the start of the week and have Monday to finish planning for the next “week.” It’s been a huge relief.

This puts things into perspective
