A much needed video, I was starting to get a little frustrated when my kids are still not lining up the way I expect it. Will be modeling it again tomorrow. Love you Miss May! - Lynn
Love you, back! Yes, keep practicing. Now I call my Firsties the Kings and Queen of the line. They love it! ((HUGS))
I find my favourite thing about the year is a fresh start, clean space, new beginning but teaching routines and staying consistent until they get it is hard. You want them to just do it after only practicing it once or twice but it takes a long time, even for the older students.
I cried every day going home last week, it's my first year of teaching and I have a lot of mean attitudes from my children (stealing, hitting, talking back, rudeness, not doing what I'm asking them to do, hissing at me, running out into the hallways, etc.) To the point that I asked myself if I'm strong enough to do this... I wasn't expecting that. I have to believe I was put there for a reason and maybe It's my job to teach them kindness(which is one of my core values). Your videos are helping me, so I thank you for that. I hope I get through to them and God gives me the strength to be a great teacher and role model to them.
I'm glad the videos are helping you. I feel as teachers, we've all had those crying moments. You're not alone. Also, God will give you that strength that you need. Many ((HUGS))
I can relate to all of this. Taught 18 years in kindergarten and the beginning of the year is truly an adventure trying to get those babies trained to be as independent as possible. What i love about the first month os school is amount of progress some kids make, especially the little ones who didn't have any form of school experience.
I totally agree!! It’s such a beautiful thing to see their growth and how much they grow!!! I bet those littles love you dearly! ((Hugs))
First, I love all your videos and that you are a verbal about God/prayer/and faith. I had a very rough year last year with PreK. We had several changes along with a new principal, which wasn’t great. You’re videos have helped me get back my confidence and have encouraged me. Thank you!
Next year, I will be teaching first grade again and I’m very excited!
I love that you have students practice routines/ procedures even if that means students miss a few minutes of recess. I do that as well and it does work! My love for the beginning of the year is the new of it all; new students, new supplies, new decorations and the organization. My strong dislike is testing as well. Teaching for teachers and learning for students would be more enjoyable without it. Keep up all the great work you do!! You’re awesome!
Thank you for your kind words. I agree, the newness is so satisfying! I appreciate your support. ((HUGS))
Thank you for this video ms may. I teach kinder in dallas. Its the 7th week of school and I find myself still teaching routines and procedures and getting them to do things my way. I hope it gets better
Miss May, every tip you've shared I've used and it has done wonders in my class and my teaching practice! 💕🥰 This video came at a perfect time since my kids statted testing boundaries and this week became very frustrating. I feel like I'm talking to the wall even though we've practiced and practice but watching this made me feel so much better! Thank you so much for the tips
Tiffany!!!
I. Love. Your. Videos! I am teaching students too...at the baccalaureate level online(nursing). It's my first semester teaching and...Whew! Its week 5 for us too and there are still students who do not get it!
I have traditional & non traditional students so their learning styles are all different... But after the 15th announcement...I'm over it! So now we "point deducting". Lol.
Thank you for validating the IMPORTANCE of consistency. I needed to hear that more than you know!
Keep doing your thing boo! Oh, and I LOVE ROOT Beer! H & I fight over it! Have an amazing rest of your week! ((Hugs))❤️
Thank you so much! I LOVE how your teaching other nurses. That can be the difficult part too, and that’s how they all learn differently. Sending you and “H” so many ((HUGS)) and positive vibes.
I just finished testing as well. It’s such a grueling process but I’m happy it’s over! Thank you for this video!
Miss May, I just always feel better when I watch your videos. I love meeting my new kiddos, setting up my classroom, and slowly feeling more organized each year! I dislike adjusting to the new schedule and the testing.
This is my second year of teaching and our schedule has been ROUGH! We do F&P testing. I am really struggling with getting these done. Any tips?? There is just not enough time in the day!
Awwww, thank you!!!! I manage my testing by keeping a calendar with kiddos names on it. Since we have just about a month to get it done, I pace myself by testing so many kids per day. For example, I always test my kids on sight words first and I put 5 names per day on my calendar who I will test. That's done within a week. Then I test 2-3 kids per day on the other stuff and I can get it knocked out. The key is just pacing yourself and not sorry about getting so many done in a day or week. Let that pressure go! ((Hugs))
Will be using your tips in my Reading classroom! Thanks. My ❤️ is prepping materials, writing lessons, and teaching. My dislike isn’t assessing, but being pulled to sub! My students lose a lesson for the day!
I ❤ the excitement and getting back into the groove with school. I HATE the beginning of the year testing as well. We just got finished BAS testing. To God be the Glory!!!! 🙏🏽🙌🏾 Have a great year!!!!!
Have a fab year! God Bless! ((HUGS))
Hello Ms. May, love, love your videos. I teach 7th grade Texas History here in Houston. You are a blessing and you have such a sweet spirit. You give great tips and advice. Love your classroom and the way you have everything so organized. Let's try to survive the 1st semester.
Perfect timing for this video. This is 23rd year of teaching; 2nd year of teaching Algebra at the high school. This video reminded me that I must continue to model what is normal behavior for the class room. I love the fresh start that comes with the beginning of the school year. I hate the fresh start that comes with the beginning of a school year.Thanks a trillion for using your precious time to make this video!
Such a relatable video! Thank you for sharing your frustration with testing and teaching routines. I needed to hear your encouraging words!
You're so welcome. You got this! ((Hugs))
You hit everything on the nail! My teammate and I just had the same talk...we are in the end of last year mentality with some things and have told each other we have to remember we are starting over.
I really love classroom setup...meet the teacher...meeting all of my new kinders...I hate that my school uses chromebooks and the kinders struggle so much especially when testing...I strongly dislike the misbehavior of scholars this year and their parents who think they are entitled to special treatment and they expect us to discipline their child when they don't bother to at home...sorry for the rant but a love you and your videos...I hope to be just like you when I get a little more experienced!!!
I totally understand and agree with it all. And, you’re FABULOUS already! I love your name too! ((HUGS))
Hey Ms May! I have been a long time subbie! You are always on point! Side note: I love you hair sis!
Thank you so much 🤗 ((HUGS))
Hi!!! I just found your channel and I'm enjoying every minute 😊
Awww, thank you so much! ((HUGS))
I just found you.
Hello from Maryland.
I think we have a lot in common. We're both seasoned teachers.
Thank you for all the shares and helpful information 😊
Yay!! Many ((Hugs))
Every time I watch your videos I always come away with something I learned and want to try with my students. Clean up song💗 thank you!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad to help. ((HUGS))
Love this! My love is the fresh start and seeing all the kids again. My dislike is scheduling! I do OT in the schools and trying to find a good time to pull students can be so tricky with 60ish students at 5 different schools who usually also have Speech and Resource Services.
God bless you! ❤
Heyyy Ms. May!!!
It's great to see you again!
I 💯% agree with the loves and hates for BOY. I LOVE Meet the Teacher Day with families; but hate the redundant PD!
If I EVER got a chance to be a "looping" teacher (keep the same group of students for several grades, EX: K - 2nd), I would jump at that chance! It would most likely mean more PD, but it would lessen the stresses, reteaching, and relationship-building that needs to be redone every.single. school year 😥
Just a U.S. teacher, over here wishful thinking again! 😁
Hugs and Blessings!🙏
I agree with you 100%. I teach first grade too! 18 years!!!!
I love meeting new families.
I dislike parents bringing their children late everyday. And those same parents who complain about their children.
From many years of pre-K to Kindergarten !
Thank you for sharing. ((Hugs))
Tiffany please give me a and keep me on your prayer request I have prostate cancer and I had to give up teaching
Love and Hugs!💜
Thank you for this video Ms. May!!! Honestly I love the pop up videos they feel so real... keep it up girl! We appreciate.
Awwww, thank you so much! This just made my night! I just like posting when I truly feel like I should. I appreciate the support! ((HUGS))
Love meeting my new firsties and getting to know them. Dislike all the testing like running records, sight words, phonics and I am in Georgia we do IOWA testing.
As a retired teacher I'm really and truly miss teaching first grade first grade was my jam next to teaching kindergarten Tiffany have you ever thought about going down to teaching kindergarten you will probably love it even more than teaching first grade
My Love is meeting my new 2nd grade scholars and the getting-to-know-you activities 🤗My hate is testing my poor babies like crazy 😱
oooo YES!!!! THE STRUGGLE IS REALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!
Can you please do a video on how you do and how you teach guided reading please
I hate to get moved to second grade because the second grade teacher is leaving. I’m heart broken that my routines are established with my students, that we have a STRONG relationship, and now I have to start from 0 with a whole new set of students 😢
Do you have a 'first day of the new academic year' video?
You’re awesome! Love your energy! Always look forward to your videos! Have a blessed year!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your sweet words. ((HUGS))
Miss you Ms. May!!
You are such an inspiration!!! I have shared you with my whole school!!! God bless you!
Awwww, thank you so much. I appreciate your kind words so much. God Bless!!
Just subscribed-yey! You are spot on with the love/hate deal of the beginning a new school year! It is like you read my mind! I love the "beast" label for testing-so true! And they have new tests and just when you feel a flow…interventions and other deals come in 😵💫 BEST WISHES!
When I tell you that I get it!!! I am teaching 5th and they want me to put them in the head lock. The constant chatter is a whole mess! I'm about to really turn into the disciplinarian because they are not getting it. At first I thought it was me until the other 5th grade teachers and I talk and then the 4th grade teachers come in with how they were last year. OHMYGOSH...WINE ME PLEASE!!
On another note, BARGS IS BOMB!! XOXOXO
I love rootbeer! I like Mugs Rootbeer and Birch Beer. I can't drink barqs rootbeer bc it has caffeine.
Root beer is my JAM!!! ((HUGS))
I have the same love hate for the beginning of the year. I love the newness of the beginning of the year. Also, I absolutely love your TPT products!
Thank you so much! ((HUGS))
Ms. May, God's choicest blessings on you! I took a sabbatical from the classroom and when I returned your videos, which I coined my PD were an incredible blessing!!!!! More than anything else was the practices of routines, procedures and expectations!!! Mannnnn by month 2 my firsties were on it, but we practiced continuously especially when expectations were not met and after all the breaks, Christmas, Easter and Spring etc.
Beginning of the school year love: seeing the excitement of my students when they come into my room, getting to know them and their families, can't really think of anything I don't like apart from the testing, I feel that everything else is a learning process.
You're such a blessing!🤗 My love is all the hugs and sweetness from kiddos! My hate is all the screening.
Thank you so much for this video. As a first-grade teacher in Houston, also I needed to hear some of those words thank you, especially since some procedures take time. It’s been hard for me this year
Same. All of it.
Gosh I needed this little pep talk! Love your heart and all you share.
Awwww, sending you many ((HUGS))
Girl, you are preaching!!!
Thank you for all the advice!!!
I love organizing my classroom too!
Isn’t it just the BEST?! ((HUGS))
Hi... It's the same with me... It takes alot to go back all the way even after 25 years of teaching.
What song do you use for clean up
Ditto!
What is the consequence for not being ready when you turn off the music? I would think it's just missing out because we're not gonna wait for you but I see students possibly exploiting this intentionally so as not to have to participate...
They practice cleaning up alone and they’re timed. ((HUGS))
I thought I was the only one!!!
Heyy Ms. May.
Love your channel ❤ !!
Im student teaching 1st grade this year, however I have 20+ yrs classroom experience.
I think the last 2yrs for many of these kiddos were MIA.. They missed school due to Covid.
Many have had absolutely no classroom etiquette, have not even clue. Others missed Kindergarten and have had no home structure. Meaning I pads, cell phones and laptops have been the babysitter.
Some of our babies are doing the best they can with the cards they've been dealt. Even though its wk 5.🛐✝️😰
Good job getting them on task !
,
Currently reteaching expectations with my sixth graders (it’s Week 9 😂). Last year’s group got it so quickly, so I was a bit thrown off. They have heart this year, but most definitely want to be wild for some reason 🤷🏾♀️.
I’ve experienced this too. Some years, it truly does take some so much longer. You got this! ((HUGS))
Love your videos. I’ve been busy with the same stuff. I want to hire an assistant.
My dislike is administering math tests which I do one at a time, logging them on Iready, which takes up reading time, and trying to be okay with “I’ll never catch up.”
I especially love the kids that are the perfect little students like we used to be.

I would LOVE an assistant. Especially, for all the little things and paperwork. Teachers deserve personal secretaries and assistants. Many ((HUGS))
I have similar feelings. I love meeting new kids and families, I dislike having to teach routines.
🙋🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ YES I HATE THAT PART AS WELL!! Thank you for sharing!
Week 5 for me… beginning of my 9th yr… new to 1st grade and district. I want to quit everyday… new to your channel & I’ve enjoyed watching your videos …
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Good Luck Teacher 👍 💓 ✨
Second year third grade teacher and I am the exact same with everything you said!!!
I love third grade! ((HUGS))
BOY testing is hard for sure! The students need to learn routines and procedures as welll as their teacher before doing all that
I agree!!!! ((HUGS))
Woo. Good to see you. 🎉
Love this
Hi Ms May! I am a huge fan! 🤍 Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge and experience with us! I already applied a lot of strategies and tools that I've learned from you, right now I am struggling a lot with my very loud firsties! 😥 Behavior is a big issue this year!
Have you tried using blurt beans?
