Thank you for showing your enthusiasm for teaching! It's hard being a teacher when a lot of teachers around you will talk about the negatives of teaching. It's awesome seeing someone so passionate for this profession and willing to help other teachers struggling with anything in the classroom.
Dear Miss May, I have been a teacher for quite a long time and right now I want to be a student in your class. Please. Thanks for those fantastic tips.
Miss May, I am a brand new teacher, will be teaching Kindergarten. I must say you are my North Star. Thank you so much for posting these. You are such an immense help to me.
I'm going into my third year of teaching and I must say the one thing I miss the most about student teaching is being able to observe other teachers in the classroom. You are an amazing educator and your students are very lucky to have you!
YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!!! I'm a 1st year with barely 6 months in teaching 1st grade. I' started the certification process in July and was a late hire in my district and a career changer. I had zero training initially. I didn't know, what I didn't know in education (still don't). Thank you Miss May for helping me provide more quality education your explanation of procedures and how to handle constant interruptions.
I've been binge watching your videos! I'm currently working part time as a paraeducator and enrolled in a program for my Bachelor's in Elementary Education! You are a model teacher of what I aspire to be! Thank you for sharing! 🥰❤️
Awwwww, thank you so very much! Thank you for your service as a paraeducator. I have so much respect for all that you do! Many blessings to you in your new journey. ((HUGS))
I learned so much from your video! Miss May can you please do a video on your experience with handling and teaching students who are defiant and display negative behavior.
Continuously going to the bathroom and drinking water is my main problem in the classroom..Everytime someone raised a hand it disrupts my class..This tips are so helpful❤ . Thanks for sharing💕
Miss. May!!! I am not a big TH-cam person but I recently stumbled upon your channel and I have watched all your videos. I just love you and your teaching style. I had a difficult year last year as it was my first in first grade and you have given me fresh ideas and reminders, and got me feeling hopeful for a good year. Please keep the tips coming! I would love your advice on the first week(s) of school. Such a crucial time that’s got me anxious. Thank you for reading and for all you do! Wishing you a wonderful year 😊 God bless!
I LOVE your channel! I've been binge watching all of your videos for the past week and a half because I'm starting student teaching next week and you are just so inspirational! You also give amazing tips and advice!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Congrats on your student teaching. I'm sure you're going to be fab and enjoy it! Many blessings to you sunshine! ((Hugs))
This is helpful for me as a homeschooling Mom. This is our first year and I am working on routines as well as my patience transitioning from teaching school-based work versus day-to-day theme.
This is fabulous! I took over a kinder class about 6 weeks into school. So I'm incorporating some of the other teachers procedures but adding my own. It's been tough for the kids and me. But these are great!
Thank you!!!!! It's my first year teaching elementary and this video has helped me more than you will ever know!! Greetings from a fellow Canadian teacher.
Thank you Miss. May!! I will be a first-year teacher in August and I am anxious about classroom management because it is soooo important to me! I just ran across your account and I will be watching ALL of your videos, they’re so helpful 😊 (I LOVE THEM).
Thank you so much for this. I will be a certified teacher next year and classroom management is one thing that I feel like I do not know enough about. This has been so helpful
I absolutely love how you explain your procedures! I thought your procedures regarding the markers was incredible. I find myself constantly telling students that the color they pick doesn't matter and they continue to keep digging for a specific one. The separate colors are a great idea!
Love it. Not a reward, or point, or rainbow chart to be seen. Clear routines and procedures and consistency win the day. Modeling! Most importantly interesting and engaging content! I will share your videos with teachers I'm training. Thanks again.
I wish I had found you before I started teaching! I maybe wouldn’t have had such a rough start.😅 Your positive energy is so contagious 💖 I’ve used your pencil system for 2 years and it’s been revolutionary!
You are awesome! I have been teaching 32 years and just discovered you in preparation for a STOIC training tomorrow. Always, always looking for fun, engaging, better ways to do things, so I've clicked "subscribe." I look forward to learning all your good tips but also to feeding off your sweet enthusiasm and obvious love of teaching. I know this video is 2 years old, but I'm hoping you are still "at it" and putting out videos.
This is very informative, it's my first year of teaching and I have been struggling with classroom management. I am hoping this will work wonders for me
I love your procedures you explains inside your classroom and how to make sure you set procedures model when student teaching inside the classroom. I love that Im definitely gonna use some us these rules for my portfolio.
I am so excited that I came across your videos. You are amazing! Everything you say and the way you on your students makes my heart so happy. I wish you were on my grade level team! Thank you for sharing. I am learning so much.
I love how realistic your expectations are about the bathroom breaks! Great job. By the way, you're an inspiration to this first year teacher!!! I'm binge watching your videos! :)
OMG Ms. May, Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! YOUR BATHROOM PROCEDURES WORKS!!!! After studying all your classroom management and procedures/routine videos I've stolen some, borrowed a couple, and mixed some of my own to get all the procedures in place like you said. I've had the best first week of school after drilling "procedures" into my third graders. Sending you and your students hope and prayers, and wishing y'all a good school year. *muah*
Miss May, please construct a way to give us an overview of all your procedures & routines... You have such good ideas & it will definitely help us Student/Teachers improve! God bless you ❤️
This was a huge help. I keep trying to figure out what the beginning of the year sounds like and this was HUGE!!!!! I can see me putting this in my words but done so much better now. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for creating a procedure that respects their privacy for the bathroom and isn't unnecessarily restrictive and gives the little kids dignity and freedom. I love this so much.
Thank you so much for this video! I am doing observations for my teaching degree and this was one of the best videos I have watched! You are so inspiring, thanks for being a fabulous educator!
Miss May! Ah, you make my heart happy 💕. I kinda want to be in your class! I love how you're so positive about the procedures and addressing unwanted behaviours by revisiting them. From one teacher to another, this is so helpful! Thanks!
Thank you Miss.May for taking time to make these videos. I'm teaching First Grade this coming school year and your videos are helping me feel better prepared. 💛
Love this! I am earning my degree for high school, but have shared your video with several future elementary teachers because I love your ideas! You make me want to be an elementary teacher!
Giving you a round of applause 👏 for all of this! As a fellow teacher with upper elementary, I believe so strongly in procedures and routines. We definitely have to teach these skills directly and consistently. Love your tips and love that beautiful bright yellow shirt. 💛
I’m going on 7 years of teaching but it’ll be my first year in kindergarten. You’ve given me ease and hope as I get ready to launch in August! Thankyou for making these videos!
Absolutely great video! super helpful for me as i’m getting back into my journey of becoming a teacher. I love how great of an actor you were, even i was convinced lol so i can just imagine how believable it is for the tiny tots. awesome & clear explanations. you’ve got a new subscriber 😁🤞🏾
LOVE, LOVE articulating what behavior looks like and sounds like to students. Brilliant! Praying you have a great year and impact your students in a powerful way. :-)
I love how you explained exactly HOW you teach your procedures, instead of just the types of procedures you have. Seriously so helpful, thank you!
YES!!! I totally agree, we can learn from watching her, just like we'd teach the kids!
Yes this is the type of video I was looking for 😂
Agreed, I found it really helpful to see an example instead of just an explanation! I just found her channel and I LOVE it!
I feel like I'm learning more from you than I have in my university education classes!! Thank you so much
+lex dauk wow!! This means a lot. Thank you! ((Hugs))
Right! They never taught us procedures.
Honestly, they don’t teach you this in college
They don't, but they should
Thank you for showing your enthusiasm for teaching! It's hard being a teacher when a lot of teachers around you will talk about the negatives of teaching. It's awesome seeing someone so passionate for this profession and willing to help other teachers struggling with anything in the classroom.
Awwww, thank you. Keep shining your beautiful teacher light. Many ((Hugs))
