I love the idea of always giving a smile. My son started middle school this year. He was telling me about his new favourite teacher. When I asked him what he liked about her he said she was always smiling. I loved that!
Yes! I teach Kindergarten and have to explicitly teaching every little thing. I remember my first year, I didn’t model how to use the water fountain and they started scooping the water with their hand.
@steph108 I taught Kindergarten for 10 years and absolutely loved it. But boy oh boy I learned so much from them! I remember my first day of teaching Kindergarten I had them put their lunch boxes on a shelf in the classroom. Well a couple of them decided to just get out of their seat, walk to their lunchbox, open it up and start eating their lunch and snack!! So after school that day I went and bought a “snack” basket, emailed the parents and asked them to write their child’s name on the snack bag/container, and then I taught them how to place the snack in the basket in the morning and I made sure the lunchboxes were placed up high on another shelf. Best of luck to you this school year
Kudos to you Ms. May! You are absolutely right, as a teacher you have to TEACH GOOD BEHAVIOR AND RESPECT in your classroom (regardless of age). It just doesn't pop up out of thin air on its own. It has to be taught. As a SPED Teacher, I know repetition is the key, until kids get it. Having structure and great classroom management skills is just as essential as teaching the academic skills. If you have high expectations for your class, the children's progress will reflect it, if you have low expectations, then the children's progress will reflect it as well. It's not about race, class, or demographics, it's about caring as a human being first. Yes, this is God's work Ms. May.❤
As a first year first grade teacher I am very grateful for your insights and advice on how to go about the first day/ week in a classroom. Of course , I have a wonderful and supportive team to help me to navigate through being efficient and streamline the establishment of the procedures etc. however, hearing it from yet another experienced and passioned educator is a huge bonus. Thank you and God bless you for your work.
Miss May, I wish my principal would show this video on our opening PD day! We are required to stand at posts during arrival and some at our door. Since in kinder some of the rooms are right next to each other we try and receive all scholars entering. We refer to them as champions and PAX leaders and we know that we are their best hope for a successful day. We can also let each other know that so and so was crying as they entered the building or so and so kicked the locker as they came around the corner. However, some teachers are resentful that they have to greet the kiddos. I say It takes a village! Thanks again Miss May!
I'm just a few minutes in and I want to applaud you. As a teacher educator, the "training" that students need is what I emphasize, in every course and even implement in my college courses so that my students see it in action. When I taught, I called it "bootcamp" and we practiced routines and procedures for six weeks. My parents knew about it, too. My students were given the leeway to learn and apply their learning during that time and it never failed that by the end of that six weeks, they had everything down pat. The morning tone is critical. I was always at the door as well (which is why I stayed late everyday to make sure my class was ready to receive students the next day.) Every principal that I had also expected us to be at the door. Finally, once my students entered the classroom, they happily began what I called "The Work Sequence". They prided themselves on flowing from one things to the next on their own. I had a bulletin board with each step outlined with words and pics. Oh, how I miss the little ones.💝 I can tell that you are so loving, so nuturing. Our children need that.
Thank you for this reminder! I teach first grade as well. Many of our students coming into our classroom this upcoming school-year have never stepped a foot in a classroom due to virtual learning. We have to be patient and teach them our expectations and procedures! I LOVE THIS! ❤️
Ms. May, I so agree with you!!! In my school it varies with the empathy and positivity... it is so sad.... I am so glad another educator is picking up on it.
Hello teacher and sister in Christ. I want to give an Amen to what you said about that we are doing God’s work, taken care of our little ones. Thank you so much I just found your channel today and I wanna tell you, you are so beautiful. Thank you so much fellow teacher from Central, Florida.
I had no idea you were in Houston!! My principal just asked me to teach 1st grade next year. I've never taught 1st and I immediately looked you up. I'm a veteran teacher (25 plus years) and have taught everything except Kinder and 1st. I think I'm about to become a One Fab Teacher disciple!!! I'm in Houston, also! Sending you a huge thank you for all the content! I'm loving it!
Having just finished my 2nd year of teaching and my first year teaching 2nd grade, I am so grateful to have seen this video. I wish I had seen this last year. I know what it feels like having to teach something over and over deep into the school year and still feeling that my kids didn't get it. But you are absolutely right, I figured they would get it because I told them as opposed to showing them. This video has blessed my spirit and made me feel more optimistic about this upcoming year.
Thank you so much for posting this and modeling it for us. I still have a year left of schooling to go before I become a teacher and the first day of school is something I've been stressing about. My student teaching takes place in the Spring so the students will already have the routines and procedures down by the time I get there. Getting an idea of what the first day will actually LOOK like helps my anxiety around that first day. I can't wait!
Thank you for these reminders/tips. Lol I think I forgot how to teach in-person lol. In-service starts July 13th. I need to review and adjust my management model.
Yes I love this video! I’m super excited because I graduated in December and will be teaching this August. I’m a little nervous because it’ll be my first year but thrilled to finally have my own students and classroom. Your videos are so helpful so I’ll continue to look forward to them :)
Hello Mrs. May! I'm a new subscriber. This school year is my first time to teach Kindergarten. I just want to say that your videos are such a big help to me. I am learning a lot from you. You are awesome!
@@OneFABTeacher We never stop learning, growing, sharing, and improving! God bless you with a great school year. Mine’s starting out really well. ❤️📚✏️🎶
I’ve just discovered you today! I’m loving your videos. ❤️ I’m not really new but kind of in the middle. This will be my 8th year, but hey we can always learn and improve. I’m a subscriber to your channel now. 🤗 Thanks for sharing 👍🏾 Have an amazing school year.
I started going back to school this spring for Art Education 🎨 ! I've wanted to be a teacher for so long and decided to make a career change. To me, it never too early to hear good advice 🙂, so thank you! Blessings - Amy
New subscriber! This is part of my practice but I loved watching you model how you introduce the procedure to your students! They must feel so loved by you! 💕💕💕
I'm so happy I found your channel. 1st year teacher and I've been watching videos to get an idea on how to start my first weeks in the classroom. This is the 1st channel that goes straight for the information and does not waste half of my time talking about irrelevant things.
I just found your channel Ms. May and I love you! I’m going to be starting my student teaching next month and I’m so excited, but also overwhelmed. I love your style and the way you speak. you help me feel way more relaxed about teaching. thanks for being you ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this video Ms. May. I so admire you as a teacher and I appreciate your amazing content here. I hope you are having a restful summer. ☀️🍉😊
Love this, and great reminder that when we start the day the kids and their happiness comes first! Thank you for the inspiration to keep finding ways to remind our kiddos how much we care ❤️
Thanks a lot Ms. May for taking time and making this video on importance of teaching procedures on the first day of the school year and keep practicing them with students for at least first two weeks
I have stumbled upon your videos and have really enjoyed them! When I saw this one and found out that you are a fellow Texan and a fellow Christian, my heart was so happy! Thank you for letting the world know that you start your days giving God the glory. You are very encouraging! I am looking forward to following you and getting great ideas for my own first grade classroom! God bless!
Thank you, Mrs. May for this helpful reminder. Due to Covid, this year door greetings was non exist. As Teachers we need to set the tone and expectation of what we want to see. If we don't it is a whole big mess.
Thanks Ms. May! Great to see you again! I am moving from several years of prek to teaching 1st grade this upcoming school year, and I am SO EXCITED!! I definitely plan to borrow this procedure from you 😉 Also, would you mind sharing how you teach firsties how to line up/walk in hallways? Your advice is ALWAYS appreciated. Hugs and blessings! 🙏💝👍
I love the example you Alsace for yourself with your “morning procedure!” So similar to my routine… I think it’s so important to “give God the glory!” Amen! Thank you for your content! 💗👍👌💯
I just want to say thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am a new teacher and a veteran teacher recommended watching you. You explain everything so well. Keep on, girl! You are helping so many!
Thank you so much sunshine. I appreciate your sweet words. Makes my heart feel good that others are recommending my videos. I just want to help the best I can. Many ((HUGS))
Thank you so much for all your videos! I'm a first year teacher and I am so nervous about the upcoming weeks, but your knowledge and insight has been immensely helpful and has given me so much direction. Bless you!!
Thank you for this essential and informative video. Procedures and routine will be highly needed this year because there are many students out there who have not set foot inside a physical classroom for almost two years. I enjoyed hearing about how you ask your students what they think that their job is for the year. Take care.
I love your videos! It's going to be my second year teaching and I'll be jumping from 4th grade to 1st, I'm SO excited because of you. I'm also in Houston! THANK YOU
New subscriber. Wonderful information. I started mid year and my classroom was totally out of control. I had to start from scratch but they learned quickly and the rest of the year went smoothly. Modeling is so important.
Thank you for this helpful video . I am teacher also and I need it. Please I have one problem with my kids students that they talk to me without take permission or rise their hands. I tell them to rise their hands but they forget every time.
Thank you Ms May. Hello from a first year teacher in Singapore struggling with classroom management. Not only do you model these tips well, I appreciate you reminding me to pray too. Purpose to serve Him and love the little children. Have been struggling these past few weeks but am going to try again!
Mrs May! You’re such an amazing teacher and person ❤️. I honestly admire you a lot, I’m getting ready to follow your methodology this year. I’m a kindergarten teacher, and I really feel what you said: I’m here for a purpose, and doing a God’s job, teaching kids 🙌🏻 ❤️
Thank you so much for your video! The threshold is so important to starting your class off right! I have a question: How would you handle a student who just refuses to acknowledge you or even talk to you? Theres a longer story, but this child doesn't talk to any teacher really and if she does its only to use the restroom or if she keeps getting bothered. I talked to the parent and admin about it and there was no help at all. I'm honestly concerned about this child.
Thank you!!! I’ll be a first year 3rd grade teacher this August in California and I’m so excited! Your videos have been amazing and I’m taking notes ✏️
This was great advice..even for a high school teacher! Also, completely off topic, but could you share where you found your hoops? They are exactly what I've been looking for.
I teach art in a middle school afterschool setting and it's going to be my first time back in person! Of course I have to modify for older kids but your videos are really a blessing! May God bless you because you're truly doing God's work! Thank you for your positive energy.
Your videos have helped me so much! I truly appreciate what you do here on RUclips. Can you do more? I’d love to know what you expect them to do once they enter the classroom and how you teach that.
My dominant color is green... I am made up of no blue whatsoever. After green, I'm orange. So I'm focused only on academics, and at times can be wreckless and/or random. You're probably blue and gold. I really like your videos!
As always amazing advice and I agree completely. Pretty sore we are kindred teacher spirits! Lol this year I am planning on putting up a picture chart where kids can choose their greeting. I always am mindful but I’m a hugger and teach preschoolers but I want them to choose what they are comfortable with. Most of my students are huggers but some are not. I love the idea of lining them up to physically practice it each day the first week!
Hi Ms. May! I'm a second-year 1st grade teacher and I just LOVE your channel. I have a question: After students greet you in the line, what do they do? Where do they go while you finish the rest of the line?
Amen Ms. May, I touch and agree with your loving words. It’s very difficult to teach this new breed of young teachers about having patience. Any suggestions? Peace and Blessings🙏🏽😇😍🌺🌺🌺
I love the idea of always giving a smile. My son started middle school this year. He was telling me about his new favourite teacher. When I asked him what he liked about her he said she was always smiling. I loved that!
Now that made me smile. Love it! ((HUGS))
I stand at the door and greet them everyday because I want them to know that everyday is a new day....no matter what happened the day before.
Amen! The whole point.😉 ((HUGS))
Thank you Mrs. May for taking your summer day off to pre-teach, teach , and reteach teachers. I’m grateful.
You are so very welcome. ((HUGS))

You are the best!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!💕
Thank you for this helpful video . I am teacher also and I need it.
Please I have one problem with my kids students that they talk to me without take permission or rise their hands. I tell them to rise their hands but they forget every time.
Model for them what your expectations are. Be very specific. Have them practice, practice, practice. ((Hugs))
I have been enjoying your channel for a year now! Thanks for all the tips! 😄
You are so welcome. Thank you for watching. ((HUGS))
Thank you Ms May. Hello from a first year teacher in Singapore struggling with classroom management. Not only do you model these tips well, I appreciate you reminding me to pray too. Purpose to serve Him and love the little children. Have been struggling these past few weeks but am going to try again!
You are so VERY welcome!!!! Many ((HUGS)) to you. This is so awesome you’re in Singapore!
Mrs May! You’re such an amazing teacher and person ❤️. I honestly admire you a lot, I’m getting ready to follow your methodology this year. I’m a kindergarten teacher, and I really feel what you said: I’m here for a purpose, and doing a God’s job, teaching kids 🙌🏻 ❤️
Thank you so much for your sweet words. God is the reason! That's what helps me keep going. Have a BLESSED and amazing school year! ((Hugs))
Thank you so much for your video! The threshold is so important to starting your class off right! I have a question: How would you handle a student who just refuses to acknowledge you or even talk to you? Theres a longer story, but this child doesn't talk to any teacher really and if she does its only to use the restroom or if she keeps getting bothered. I talked to the parent and admin about it and there was no help at all. I'm honestly concerned about this child.
Thank you!!! I’ll be a first year 3rd grade teacher this August in California and I’m so excited! Your videos have been amazing and I’m taking notes ✏️
Yay!!!!!! Have a blessed and amazing year teaching 3rd grade. It’s a fun age to teach! ((Hugs))
This was great advice..even for a high school teacher! Also, completely off topic, but could you share where you found your hoops? They are exactly what I've been looking for.
Thank you for watching. My hoops are from Target. ((Hugs))
You're the best Mrs. May! I am going to use some of these tips for my greetings too.
AWESOME! Have a FABULOUS school year! ((HUGS))
I teach art in a middle school afterschool setting and it's going to be my first time back in person! Of course I have to modify for older kids but your videos are really a blessing! May God bless you because you're truly doing God's work! Thank you for your positive energy.
Thank you so much. I appreciate your words. Have a blessed school year! ((HUGS))😉
Miss. May, I sure love you! Your videos are I helpful and I can tell that you love your kids. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us!😘
Love you back!!! Thank you for your sweet words. ((Hugs))😘
Thank you for making this...I just pulled my stuff together and am so in the school mood. I was so glad that you have a new video!!!
You are so welcome. Have a fab school year! ((HUGS))
Your videos have helped me so much! I truly appreciate what you do here on RUclips. Can you do more? I’d love to know what you expect them to do once they enter the classroom and how you teach that.
More to come! I PROMISE! Yes, I can do a video for that. Thank you for watching. ((HUGS))
I am glad to see u I posting a video!!! I have missed your advice : ) 😍😍
Thank you ((HUGS))😘
Uaaau! You are the best inspiration for teachers. Love your videos! God bless you always.❤️
Wow, thank you! ((HUGS))
My dominant color is green... I am made up of no blue whatsoever. After green, I'm orange. So I'm focused only on academics, and at times can be wreckless and/or random. You're probably blue and gold. I really like your videos!
Thank you for watching. ((HUGS))
This is such a great vlog!! Good classroom management is everything!!!! Without it, your class will not be successful!!
Amen ((HUGS))
Great advice for any level. I teach high school and still need to teach students my expectations. The first 10 days are so important.
Absolutely! ((HUGS))
Great to see you again Ms. May. 💕 You are still my teaching inspiration. #year29forme🍎
Thank you, sunshine! ((HUGS))
As always amazing advice and I agree completely. Pretty sore we are kindred teacher spirits! Lol this year I am planning on putting up a picture chart where kids can choose their greeting. I always am mindful but I’m a hugger and teach preschoolers but I want them to choose what they are comfortable with. Most of my students are huggers but some are not. I love the idea of lining them up to physically practice it each day the first week!
Awww, I couldn't agree more. I love the idea of a visual for them they can choose. I'm such a hugger! LOL Thank you so much for watching. ((HUGS))
Hello Miss May. Love your videos! And love you. You Classroom Management vids are my favs.
Blessungs and hugs from Argentina.
Glad you like them! Thank you so much for watching and always being such a BIG supporter of my channel. ((HUGS))
“That’s just. It fair….that’s just not fair” ❤️
((HUGS))
Thank you SO much!! These are so helpful love your videos! Also I knew you loved the lord ! I could sense it :)
Awwwww, you're so welcome. The Lord is amazing! ((Hugs))
Especially after coming back from the Covid season this video is so important! Thank you for sharing 😊
You are so welcome. ((HUGS))
Hi Ms. May! I'm a second-year 1st grade teacher and I just LOVE your channel. I have a question: After students greet you in the line, what do they do? Where do they go while you finish the rest of the line?
Hi, sunshine! Congrats on year two! I appreciate your support. My kids unpack their backpacks, do their morning jobs and begin morning tubs. ((HUGS))
Thank you, Miss May!!
You are so welcome sunshine! ((Hugs))
Love this but also love your side table lamps 😍
Thank you!! 😊 They're from Target a few years ago. ((HUGS))
Amen Ms. May, I touch and agree with your loving words. It’s very difficult to teach this new breed of young teachers about having patience. Any suggestions? Peace and Blessings🙏🏽😇😍🌺🌺🌺
Continue to try and guide them and pray for them. (( Hugs ))
