Absolutely, RESPECT is not an option! We need to teach this to students early on and it will become part of their character to respect every one, at all times!
Giving kids purpose and a way to show kindness is powerful. So often we say "Be nice." This gives them a REAL example and how-to to be kind. LOVE IT!!!
I’m a senior in college and signed my first teaching contract yesterday. I’ve been stressed lately with all of the teacher quit things on the internet and your videos give me so much peace and make me so excited. Thank you so much ❤
I'm a college student in the hardest semester ever, and I've been cramming homework for the last five hours, nothing to do with teaching but I really needed something to lift my spirits after feeling so burnt out. This video is just what I needed. Brought me back to some of the best teachers I ever had, and I got to feel like a kid again. You are so special and those kids are so, so lucky. Thanks so much for sharing this, I really needed to hear it today!
I love your inexhaustible energy and enthusiasm! This might be out of left field, but I was severely neglected as a child and extremely withdrawn mentally and emotionally. Vids like this help me to go back to those times when I was a kid and couldn't really appreciate anything social or educational and heal those old wounds. Thanks for doing this, you're helping even a grown man like me, lol. And that will make things all the more rich for our kids when my wife and I decide it's time. Here's to passing on the love!
Omg the bucket filler song- SO CUTE! Also, I just want to say that as someone who is about to start their student teaching in a few weeks, I have endless amounts of appreciation and admiration for you & your videos! Thank you for being so kind and considerate in sharing your effective and efficient strategies & tools for being a wonderful educator; I am sure many teachers AND students all over appreciate the work you put into your channel. You're definitely an awesome role model for those of us just starting out, or just looking to further develop. Many Thanks!
I love the colors on your wall, nothing overwhelming. The natural tones with the wood wall calms me just by looking at it. And normally a full whiteboard would clutter my brain but somehow you managed to compose it in just a way that it feels right. Taking notes for my first-year room!
Love this teacher! Awesome job Miss May on teaching our young ones the importance of being kind to others! I teach 5th graders and I am always having to remind them of being a bucket filler, not a bucket dipper.
Hello Miss May, I am so glad that I found your channel, I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and love for teaching. As a former teacher's assistant and daycare teacher, I truly appreciate everything that teacher's do. I am a first year homeschool parent of a 6 year old this year. I would love to virtually sit in on your class if your school does anything like that. Thank you and so many other teacher's for all that you do. God Bless You!
Would you please do a video on how you do your morning calendar and days in school routine?? I love the displays on the board behind you with counting days in school... New teacher here and I just have them count up # days but need some fresh ideas. We just learned number bonds and hundreds/tens/ones so wondering how to incorporate this to our morning meeting... Please and thank you!!!
You are amazing! I am a paraprofessional with 4K kiddos and love it. We also talk about bucket fillers and I like how you have a bucket for each student.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video!! I learn SO MUCH from watching how you teach, and appreciate your gifts and talents. Thank you for being a blessing to me!! 😘
What an amazing idea "Backet Filler", I admire your passion, enthusiasm, smile and energy. Your students are Bless to have you as a Teacher. Also, I am Bless because I found you. I hope soon I will use all your ideas🙏🙏🙏💖💖❤.
Thank you!! This was so helpful to watch ☺️ this is the closest thing to observing a class for me! I’ve watched countless videos for school, but this is the first one that feels like I’m actually there!
Aww I love this! The song is nice and easy to remember! 😊I just read the "Be a Bucket Filler" book to my class last week! I was thinking about how I might explain it further to them. ❤️
Awesome content! I'm gonna apply this in my class here in the Philippines. Thank you for sharing. Btw, I love the way you manage your students. May God bless you always.
May you make more videos about consequences for when students misbehave during lunch? Like an updated version? Conflicted on taking away recess in Kindergarten but don’t know any other consequences tht matter or work
I love you videos so much. This is exactly how I want to be with my littles. I am Student Teaching right now and I have a couple students who do struggle with respect. I've been there for about two months and I have a great relationship with them but a couple in particular are really struggling with respecting everyone, classmates, teachers, etc. What do you suggest when you have a particular couple of students who say things like, "I don't have to listen" or who lash out physically?
Love it, Ms. May! Just wondering what "Gap time" means on your schedule last period? Also, does your school have "Specials" like Art, PE, etc? It's hard to fit so much in one day!
GAP TIME is considered our intervention time. Meeting with struggling readers, writers, or those having difficulty in math. Yes, we have P.E, Music, and Art. We call it large group. It's so much!!!((Hugs))
Love it! I’m snooping out your schedule and wondering… do the students not go to “Specials” like music, art or PE, to give you planning time/PLC time? We have to have 2 PLC a week and that takes from my planning time so I’m wondering when do you get to plan?
LOLOL it's all good! So, each day my kiddos got to those activities. We call it large group. Yes, I have planning each day during that time but two of those days we have to meet with our coaches. So we really only have 3 days of planning. Very disappointing. Teachers need and deserve to use their planning each day how they feel fit. Please don't let me get on my soap box on that one. Lol Many ((Hugs))
@@OneFABTeacher ahhh! Okay “Large group”! Got it! Phew. Couldn’t do without those times. Yeah it really does take time from planning. I am also a mentor to my old intern so we meet weekly on Wednesday so now I’m down to 2 planning periods. I love to help it’s just sadly our PLCs have become a show and tell to the people sitting in on our meetings since the pandemic we had to move to two meeting a week and we don’t have time to plan together, we have to present it…. It doesn’t make sense to us. I would love to hear how other teachers get to have PLCs to use their time wisely.
hiii, i’m a new subscriber and although i’m just a teenager and most of my family doesn’t support my decision to want to become a teacher (because of the income) i still want to be one! thank you so much for all your awesome content and i hope you have an awesome day!! ☺️💕 💖🧡💛💚💙💜🤍
Ms. May, I have adopted you as my virtual mentor as I’m entering my first year as a second grade teacher. I want to ask you, how and when do I introduce this song to my young scholars? Should I include this during my routines and rituals week?
I consistently, talk about this with my class and to not just always fill a best buddies bucket. I also, partner them up from time to time and have them fill that persons bucket. I also, will fill buckets too. I just consistently teach them to be mindful. ((HUGS))💛
Love it, love it, love it. ❤️❤️ I am going to use it in my class for sure. I just have one question though. What do you do to make sure every student’s bucket is being filled? Thank you for all your amazing videos, I learned a lot from them. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your sweet words. I consistently, talk about this with my class and to not just always fill a best buddies bucket.

Hi, Miss May. I'm also a first grade teacher and I would really need advuce on controlling a very beautiful, smart, colorfull but also very loud class. Thank you.

Some of my 3rd graders need this. 🧡
It truly works in 3rd grade too. I taught 3rd for five years. ((HUGS))
First time watching your channel and I wish I had teachers like you! Loved the video such a great lesson

Where did you find the personalized director chair?
The chair was personalized with a Cricuit machine. ((Hugs))
What do you do when some kiddos might not get a sweet note from any of the other kids?
Honestly, it happens. They might not get one a particular day. It just depends on how busy our day gets. ((Hugs))
Love it, Miss Mae!!! I wish I was in you class. 🥰🥰🥰
Awwww, THANK YOU! ((HUGS))💛💛💛
I like your alphabet. Do you sell a digital version?
Thank you! No, I don't. ((HUGS))
