A third grade class recorded the most adorable, wholesome version of Lil Nas X’s rap-country crossover hit, and people are praising the teacher for finding a way to get her students excited about solving math problems.

Alabama third grade teacher Jasmine A. Merlette posted a video of her and her students singing along to a version of the song that stresses persistence and determination. According to Merlette’s Twitter hashtags, the kids slayed their state test.
“I’m gonna ace my test, gonna raise my score / I’m gonna solve ’til I can’t no more,” Merlette and the kids sing before the beat drops and everyone starts jumping up and down.
There are no horses in the video, but a giraffe makes a surprise appearance.
Lil Nas X himself got a little emotional after seeing the video and weighed in.
“i’m cheesing hard as hell watching this. this beautiful lol,” he wrote on Twitter.
