Thanks for your great tips, Ms. May! They are brilliant! It is nice to hear that I already do some of your techniques. This will be my first year teaching, but I have 20 yrs experience working with students in grades Pre-k to 12th. I will continue to look for your advice on things. I appreciate it! I use the callback "class class" and they say "yes yes". Got it from you. Love it!!
My class this year (2nd grade) has a really challenging group of boys that are tough cases in the behavior area. So here I am back again for a refresher course from you and I'm feeling again like "I can do this"
Ms. May, I also agree with the smiling vibe. My kidos definitely respond in a positive way whenever they see me smiling. That is pretty much all the time for me. They understand and know that whenever they are not feeling at their best, they just look for Mrs. Janet and I have always been able to cheer them up and make them smile also.
I LOVE this! Keep being Mrs. Janet and don't change. Those babies need you! Thank you for sharing, thank you for being awesome, and thank you for being YOU! ((HUGS))
I am about to start teaching again after moving back to the states and taking a three year break and have been feeling overwhelmed. Your videos have helped me tremendously. I feel more calm and confident and ready to take on this year. Thank you so much 💕
Miss May could you please make a video on how to get along with co-workers. Reality is that we get over worked and if we are not getting time for planning then when do we have time for our co-workers/planning with them. I feel like the little time we have to bond. I share my ideas however, i either get shut down, judged, looked weird… idk how do you manage working with so many personalities and what do you do with confrontation, disagreements… etc. thank you so much! 🙏
Hello Ms. May! I was inspired by you and your videos, and started my channel of sharing Chinese Immersion teaching experiences in 2020. Almost four years! I want to tell you that I can see God's glory in you! Hope you enjoy being a teacher and UA-camr! I am looking forward to learning more from you! Blessings, Lucy
Oh wow! That’s amazing! Way to take the leap and here you are four years later. ♥️I appreciate your kind words so much. Thank you and God bless! Many ((Hugs))
Ms. May, YOU ROCK!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences!! I would love to know what the final reward is when a student gets to the top of the improver wall. I used the wall this past year and it was a hit!!🎉 THANK YOU!!
Miss. May, I so needed this today!!! I am hating how I sound in class right now. I want to turn it around. I have to bring back the 1 sec party dance. I started it during distance learning. I guess I did it so much that my husband goes around the house saying, "Oh Yeah!" lol But can I just say that this class is just socially immature. I am a second grade teacher. You know the drill. They had kinder online the whole year. hugs Danielle
Danielle, I totally understand what you’re going through. I’ve been there several times. Get your mojo back and bring back those 1 sec parties!!! Sending you lots of ((Hugs))♥️
I find your video helpful. I like how you look for engaging ways to keep your students motivated and how you respect them with understanding first “They are children” we cannot expect them to stop being one. They only get to be a child once than an adult for the rest of their lives. And I think often times we forget that. But building rapport with them and eating with them during lunch time also makes them feel special and that we care to be present. Overall, you are an amazing educator.
LOL cubed on the whole having lunch with students. I am one who really doesn’t like having lunch with students. One year, I worked with a teacher who was ADAMANT that I have lunch with students to help build relationships. She went to the principal to complain and anything else she could think of. It just cracked me up. So I experienced the other extreme of your lunch with students “hate mail.” 😅 Some people. It was good to see you again. I hope you enjoyed your Spring Break. 👋😃👋
Hello Ms. May, I love that tip for the one second party. Thank you for your videos, they have helped me so much in my career as a teacher. I'm moving into my first year of teaching kindergarten. I have taught preschool for 3 years. I'm excited to see how my 2023-2024 year will turn out. Thank you again for your assistance.
One second parties are the best! They just make the kiddos feel so good. You seem like an amazing teacher and I know you will have an AMAZING school year! ((HUGS))
Love those lamps by the way and your color theme lol! Thanks for all of this tips! I work in a Pre K in Ga and Im so unhappy but im trying to maintain a class of 16 by myself and two have some behaviors that is draining me.😢And also thanks for the gospel insipartions!
Do you provide something with their lunch? A drink, small "side dish" etc. nothing fancy...😸I really like your advice! I'm getting ready for a job interview and I am focusing on this subject.
We LOVE the Super Improver Wall in my classroom. This was my first year doing it. I will admit I was a former clip chart person. I still remember the first day of school this year and I told them we don't do that in here, I don't have time to move clips and keep up with colors. They lost their minds. They also love the taco notes!
Oh my goodness Miss May! Thank you for this video! I am looking for something to help me during our lunch/rest period. More specifically the transition from lunch to rest time. I am working as a substitute teaching assistant in a PreK classroom and they have rest time. With the help of the lead teacher we have begun to model what lunch/sounds like. We even modeled what it shouldn't look/sound like. We will have the kiddos do it next. (Schedules have been moved a bit) It is the transition to rest that seems to be the most challenging. I am thinking about trying the super improver wall. I will have to let the lead teacher know! What do you think? Thank you for all you do!
Thanks, Teacher Boss Miss May, for the videos. I enjoy watching them so much. May God Bless you now and always. You give us a lot to think about when deciding to become a teacher, and I agree that we need to create meaningful experiences and relationships with students.
thanks for this video. I'll check all your videos now. I'm working in Asia and this is my first year. I have some classes and they've been out of the control. I have preschool and primary classes. I don't know their language and my students don't know English. Even teachers who help to me in the classroom they don't know neither. In here there is no positive classroom management. All the teachers just yell or punish them. I hate this kind of discipline methods all my life and I had trouble with my teachers when I was a student. So I'm very nice at the classroom. they love me a lot, I can see that but they doesn't see me as an authority. It's like they hold themselves up all day and explode in my class. I hope I can find a way otherwise I'll explode and scream middle of the school lol.
Wow, Asia! That's so cool. You can still be nice, but firm. Set those expectations high. Kids need love, firmness, respect and consistency! Please don't ever go to yelling at them. That will NOT help the situation. I have many videos on classroom management and building relationships with your students. Also, focus on being the BEST teacher YOU can be. I always tell myself, I want to be better than I was the year before. Not, I want to be like her or him. God chose you to be a teacher. Let that light shine! ((HUGS))
I have been following you so long and you have always been an inspiration. Do you still use things like VIP in your classroom, and Love Calls? Those strategies stick out to me as my favorites!!
Hey Ms. May, I love your videos. I love your phrase, Don’t forget to pray because God will always make a way. ❤ I am really interested in hearing more about the super improver wall. Can you create another video modeling and explaining the concept? Thanks!
Great content. That is my issue the consequences. I am pre K assistant and don't want to be negative like screaming, scaring children that's not my thing. Need some ideas. Thank you
In the district I am training in to become a teacher the teachers our required to eat with the students. They do have assistant teachers but they are allowed to go off campus.
Natural consequence for a kid making noises and/talking when giving whole class instructions?? Is that, "ignore until instructions are finished", them go sit next to them... They obviously want attention? At what point is the disruption so bad that you need to do a referral so they leave the classroom?
As a substitute teacher I HATE treasure box. The kids dig through it indecisively and then they never really like whatever they end up with. I feel like it's just stress inducing.

2nd year teacher here! I wish I would’ve watched your videos last year. Need to step up my classroom management game!
You got this! Rock it and let your light shine! ((HUGS))
My class this year (2nd grade) has a really challenging group of boys that are tough cases in the behavior area. So here I am back again for a refresher course from you and I'm feeling again like "I can do this"
Awwww, you got this! ((HUGS))
Going back into the classroom after teaching virtually for a while 😅 I needed this.
You got this! Prayers you have a FABULOUS school year! ((Hugs))
Thanks for sharing you experience with a first year teacher and seasoned adult 😅
