I just rewatched some of your vids (took notes 📝) and I can’t wait to incorporate them in my first class! My vlog is doing well and I’m excited to share more! You inspired me girl! Keep loving and stay blessed!
I just finished my first year teaching in NYC as a high school special educator.The main issue for me has been classroom management.Thank you for your videos because although it’s high school I can still apply this information going into my second year.God Bless.
Yes! I know that song. Even my 7th graders love it and ask me to play it again. Which is strange for middle school. Great tip by the way. Thank you again for this video.
After watching your TH-cam video on transitions I implemented music for transitions in my classroom this year and it was phenomenal!!! Thanks for sharing 💜
I'm so glad you're back to YT! You are such an inspiration, thanks a lot for your advice and for reminding me that I should always try to be a better teacher. Hugs!
I have been binge watching your classroom management series. I start my student teaching and I find your videos very helpful. Thank you for all of your help!
you are such a lifesaver!! this is my first yr with kinders. I wanted to use music to cleanup areas and this explained it so well of how to introduce it! :)
I love this, that’s so fun. My last cooperating teacher did this with phonics man music (a song for math/numbers), and a song with ELA. The kids loved the music and so did we! They were able to clean their areas and got a chance to have a fun dance break. Thank you for including how to teach this to our kiddos, I was able to see how well this worked in the classroom but never got a chance to see how to actually teach the kids to transition. ❤️
Hello! I am sooooooooo happy you are back :) I LOOOVE your videos and the tips that you have .. I am a teacher from Mexico. I will be starting my 3rd year of teaching and this last year I followed your advice and they work! I learned that consistency is the key to better results. Thank you ! God bless you !
🖍✂️✏️ THANK YOU ! YOU ARE SUCH A BLESSING IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW AS I TRYING TO HOMESCHOOL AND I TAKE YOUR OPINIONS VERY SERIOUSLY CAUSE I WANT FOR THIS TO GO SMOOTHLY 🖍✂️✏️
Music is awesome for transitions. Thanks for sharing how you teach this procedure!! When the kids go to their learning spots, are they allowed to talk quietly on the carpet, or sing along if you’re not sitting in your chair yet, or do you want them to be silent, sitting and waiting? Great video!
I have learned so much from your classroom management videos. You are so inspiring because of what an amazing teacher you are. You have helped to see just how imperative classroom management is, especially for students whose lives are challenging as a result of trauma. This is why I want to teach. I am just about to go into my senior of college and I will be a new teacher soon. I was quite nervous about what will happen during my student teaching and my first year of teaching because I did not have a lot of experience with classroom management. These tips have really helped ease my nerves as classroom management for a first-year teacher is pretty daunting. Now, I feel a little more prepared and I know that I will always be learning no matter if I am a first-year teacher or a veteran teacher.
Yes, model and practice, practice, practice. Oh, did I mention practice? 🤣 I've been teaching fifteen + years and we are soooooo much alike. You're awesome! Have a great year! 😁
You are uor blessing, organized and educational guru. New logo. Love it. I love you so much from Argentina. Please do another giveaway and hope i will win. Blessings and hsppy teaching. Miriam
Hey Miss. May! I'm checking from Mississippi, just 15 minutes outside of Memphis, Tn. Aawwwww Miss. May I'm so glad that I've stumbled across your channel🤗!!!! I've been bing watching your videos for the last 2 days! I swear you have a video for every topic or matter that us teachers need.I love the positive vibes that is all throughout this channel! Since I've been watching your videos, I noticed that we have somethings in common. There's a few: we're both Christian educators, we both drive Honda Accords but mine is a four door, I had the pixie for years until I started letting my hair back this past January, and I LOVE OLD NAVY🥰. Old Navy is where I get 97% of my wardrobe from.We( the teachers) go back to work on August 7th, and because of you I'm very motivated!I'm looking forward a positive yet fun school year! I'm also looking forward to watching more videos of Miss May this coming school year. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your Fab Blessings!
Awww, thank you so much for this sweet message. I appreciate you being one of my blessings. It really means a lot. Have a FABULOUS school year. ((HUGS))
I really like your videos I saw the one when picking up your things for your classroom, is not good any of the things that are happening now, hopefully if you are teaching online may help us with ideas or videos like this one. Grettings. Thanks a lot.
Hey, sunshine! I pray that your team can help you and guide you on what you will need. I can't help in this area because I've never taught HS. Many blessings to you this school year. ((HUGS))
I plan to implement this. My question is, if I use my computer to play the music, what will a substitute teacher use? They won’t have access to my computer/music.
You are amazing!! I love your content!! I am prepping for my first year teaching first grade. I am so excited and nervous, so I have been binge watching your videos. They are so helpful, kind and informative. I feel like I have better idea now of how I want to run things. Thank you so much! Do you have an instagram account as well?
How often should you demonstrate the transitions and ask kids about what they noticed what it looks like and sounds like? Do you do it with every time you transition or is it only shown a few times during the beginning of the school year and at times that you feel you need to refresh their memories? I really do like using music or videos as a method rather than shouting out and trying to match their energy level.
Hi Miss May! Im in prek and I was wondering how many procedures can we practice at one time. I dont want to make the same mistake as last which is repeating the same thing until June loll
Good evening can you do a video about student teachers shopping cause my mom is a teacher for 20 years and she keep telling that its okay to buy my decorations for my classroom and it would be worth once I start teaching. But I'm having mix suggestions idk what I'm doing I don't graduate until next year
I personally wouldn't buy decorations because your style might change once you get your own classroom. I would start investing in books lots of books. ((HUGS))
I would do the same thing. No matter how often I see kids they have to practice and they have to learn whatever your expectations are. How are you teaching procedures now? ((Hugs))
@@OneFABTeacher My teaching procedures are pretty much in line with what you're saying, some classes it sticks right away which is a joy to see it run like a well oiled machine while other classes it might take half the year or the whole year if am being honest, you know 30 classes! But all in all, it is good, plus I've got awesome teachers in my back pocket to refer to every now and then!😁🧡💜❤
I use so many songs. I just find them through TH-cam or what the kids like. I LOVE Tour the States, You Got A Friend In Me, I Like To Move It, Party In The USA. ((HUGS))
Oh Miss May, I love that you call your readers your "blessings"--but you are, truly, OUR blessing! Thanks for the good suggestions!
absolutely love this! Transitions with music WORK! love this video...thanks!
Yay!! ((Hugs))
Definitely gonna check out the song. There's never too many transitional ways to get the kids attention! Especially in Pre- K
((Hugs))
You have such a grounded and calming presence that just radiates love. So SO glad you’re back. Thanks for the VERY useful tip!!
Awwww, thank you so much for this sweetness. ((Hugs))
I have told my sister about you, she is also an elementary teacher! I told her you NEED TO WATCH MS.FAB!!!! She is amazing!!!

Ms May has great advice I also use as a high school teacher. Harry Wong’s book the Classroom Management book is also a great resource.

Thank you for watching! ((Hugs))
I wish I worked with you...you are a spectacular mentor, so positive, and lover of the Lord!!!
Awwwwwww, much LOVE to you my blessing! ((Hugs))♥️
Great tip. This is a very important tip. You are so right, you must model and practice and practice and model!!!!

MS. May!! I love you!! This is my first year teaching and I have no idea what supplies I need. I am teaching life skills at Pasadena Memorial HS.
Hey, sunshine! I pray that your team can help you and guide you on what you will need. I can't help in this area because I've never taught HS. Many blessings to you this school year. ((HUGS))
Do you use the song for other transitions, like after indoor recess from play centers?
I use other songs for my other transitions. This particular song can be used for any transition though. ((Hugs))
Great video. Just got my associate degree in general studies and I am thinking about going for my bachelor degree in education.
((Hugs))
Great advice Miss. May
Thank you so much! ((Hugs))
I plan to implement this. My question is, if I use my computer to play the music, what will a substitute teacher use? They won’t have access to my computer/music.
You can use your iPod and play through wireless speakers. ((Hugs))
You are amazing!! I love your content!! I am prepping for my first year teaching first grade. I am so excited and nervous, so I have been binge watching your videos.

Cute idea and song. Also where did you get your t-shirt made? I love it!
Thank you! A dear teacher friend of mind made it for me. ((Hugs))
I love your tips and I love u 🇮🇱❤️
Thank you! Love you back! ((Hugs))
How long do you keep Tour the States on before your kids need to be at their learning spots?
do you have assigned seats on the rug and desks?
Hi Miss May! Im in prek and I was wondering how many procedures can we practice at one time. I dont want to make the same mistake as last which is repeating the same thing until June loll
Great idea! Are there other songs you use for other transitions?
One FAB Teacher you truly are fab! 🥰

Hey Miss May I love your shirt where did you get it?
Hello sunshine! A friend made it for me. ((HUGS))
Thanks for your awsome suggestions! But how would you do that if you're a special area teacher and you see 30 classes once a week for 45 minutes?
I would do the same thing. No matter how often I see kids they have to practice and they have to learn whatever your expectations are. How are you teaching procedures now? ((Hugs))
@@OneFABTeacher My teaching procedures are pretty much in line with what you're saying, some classes it sticks right away which is a joy to see it run like a well oiled machine while other classes it might take half the year or the whole year if am being honest, you know 30 classes!

You said that you change your transition song mid-year. What song do you change to mid-year for transitions?
I use so many songs. I just find them through TH-cam or what the kids like. I LOVE Tour the States, You Got A Friend In Me, I Like To Move It, Party In The USA. ((HUGS))
Sis? Are you back on TH-cam or is this a one-off thing? BECAUSE, I simply need to know. I miss your positivity and faith and hopefilled-ness.
I’m back! ((Hugs))
Do you use the same song for the whole year?
No, I do change it up mid year. ((Hugs))
Thank you again
Always welcome ((HUGS))
