Miss May, This was a great video! If you struggle to post something, just hop in the car and talk to us like this, on your way to work, on your way home, after time with the Lord that gives you hope, after meetings that bring you down. Share these ups and downs, you are fantastic and we appreciate your honesty and openness, it helps for others to see the things you’re dealing with. God Bless you and thank you for this influence online!
I am thankful for you T May!
I'm grateful for whatever teaching advice/ content you are able to put out and respect you not running yourself into the ground while doing it. You are a great gift to students and teachers. Thanks for always sharing practical teaching advice and putting so much light and peace into this world. Your advice always means more to me because you are still a real classroom teacher.
All your content is fabulous Ms May! I think it’s totally fine to revisit old topics. Sometimes things are tweaked or people need a refreshment. A morning in the life does sound great. As a mom with an autistic child, I’d love to see your tips on inclusion in the classroom too. 😊
I’m glad you’re feeling your groove again. The world definitely needs teachers like you!!
I’m so glad you post on here. Thanks for all you do, those kids will never forget you.
It’s my 20th year.
I’d been feeling the burnout or uncertainty too…and I’d always loved teaching.
I think the past 3 years have simply been so taxing on teachers - so many invisible, silent, heavy burdens to carry. So much juggling (more than usual), so many demands (online, hybrid, jumping back to in-person for some)…all with the expectation that we do it smoothly & smiling. And this was on top of the usual responsibilities that can cause fatigue.
If you’re middle-aged or older the stress most likely took a physical toll, but no one was exempt from the mental & emotional places that these past 3 years took teachers.
Many are beginning to feel ok again, but it’s not bcuz all those new responsibilities have gone away. It’s because of God’s grace & mercy. He’s carrying us through.
Thanks for sharing.
Ok, so I completely understand. I am also in the Houston area, and I have been watching my TRS like a hawk because I am SO TIRED. I just finished my Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction, and my plan is to move on from the elementary level to teaching at the junior college level. It’s less money, but I’m ok with that because the stress of it all has just become too much. The dread was (and is) so incredibly overwhelming at times. It’s just the combination of behavior problems, ridiculous parents, and the constant lack of support from admin that has pushed me to this point. All of that to say, I totally understand. We can do it my friend. Keep sharing if you can because we’re listening! 💕
I agree! it can be so overwhelming. Everything you mentioned is so on point and the TRUTH. We got this! ((HUGS))
I am the same way with rain! I love the smell and the sound! It is so relaxing!
Thank you so much for sharing Miss May. I can f eel you on so many levels. I too have been struggling for the last several years and have wanted to quit so bad. I can’t say that I’m out of the struggle yet, but you give me hope that there’s light at the other side of the tunnel. I love the kids and I can’t imagine what else I would do, but I’m so exhausted! Not to mention how different kids are these days. Teaching is just harder. I’ve been teaching for 17 years in combo classrooms and I just don’t know how much longer I can hang in there.
As for content, I love everything that you put out. I especially like when you show yourself actually teaching your kids procedures or lessons. Those videos are always the most helpful to me. I struggle with classroom management this year unlike any other year. I’ve usually had pretty good classroom management, but this group of kids are a struggle.
Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy your weeklong break. I get out at noon today and I can’t wait!
Greetings,
It’s always a blessing to here your words of inspiration. I missed you in the past while you took a break and I will always be grateful for all that you have shared. Amen
You are so important to me💜 I highly value every time you share your experiences as a teacher and as you share your faith in God💜🙏💜
Ms. May! I love your energy and I really enjoy your personality and this car chat with you being you and transparent. This car chat was excellent. I relate to you so much. I’m actually considering leaving a corporate career for the classroom. I am asking God like you are….and I’ll pray for you too! Always love your content! Keep being you! 💕💕💕
Enjoy your time off!
Love this video. You’re right the devil hates us being happy. So glad your feeling better. I’m with you, I like being at home too. ❤
Some ideas for videos… (you may have already done these because I just recently found your channel and I haven’t watched it all…. Yet! But I plan to 😂)
Favorite Book recommendations
Book reading (read stories that other teachers can let their students watch)
Teach Lessons that other teachers could show in their class…. (For example…. What’s a verb?…. What’s a sentence?…. How to add…. How to subtract…. Etc…)
Love all your tips and classroom ideas. They are the best!!! ❤
I love your spiritual encouragement! 💜
💛 ((HUGS))
Charley's is great! I think you should continue speaking about your spiritual walk. Encouragement is so powerful!
Will do! ((HUGS))
Love any content you post Miss May! You could redo every video, and I’d watch them all! I’m thankful for someone like you that has lots of experience and not a brand new teacher. I’d love to see a video on your students packing up at the end of the day (your routine for that.) Its my least favorite time of the day.
I’d love to hear how to teach specifics (a math lesson, calendar, reading, etc.)
Bible, scripture memorizing, scripture writing! These vlogs where you’re talking about real life. I like your wisdom and advice, maybe more videos on positive daily habits and organizational ideas for home, life, classroom. Decor, games and fun ideas for classroom!
Love that! ((HUGS))
I'm sorry you've been feeling all that lately! I can relate. I'm glad you are feeling better about everything now. You are always such an encouragement to me. God bless you!!!
Hi Miss May! I want to say thank you so much for all your videos over the years! Thank God you are feeling much better! You have inspired so many people and I pray you to continue to do so. I think it is unfortunate that the algorithm doesn't always go for poc. But so many people will continue to support you! I will watch anything you put up.
Thank you so much! I will be honest, I still have my days. I agree with the algorithm with poc. It's sad, and disheartening. It is what it is. I will continue spreading kindness and helping teachers. Thank you for your kind words. ((HUGS))❣️
I'm a 1st grade teacher as well...I think that classroom management is important to show our newbies so keep doing those, maybe talk or show how you do small reading/ math groups, and most definitely talk about the struggle and why it's important for us not to leave, especially teachers of color. Also maybe do like you were thinking how you prepare for the day, how your class day goes. You got this I'll keep watching you and supporting you!
I just found your channel tonight, and I already love you! You are giving me so much hope and encouragement! Thank you!
Awwwww, I'm so glad you found my channel. Thank you for your kind words. ((HUGS))
I’m a first year teacher and your videos helped me. I would love for you to update your videos and even show your guided reading without showing your kids. You are a great teacher educator. Would you look into doing that?
You are always so so so encouraging God bless you and sure hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving break this is my first year of teaching preschool and it is tough learning how to manage it all so I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your sweet words
Mini lessons of content, cooperative learning, small groups 😊
You were helpful to me when I was in the traditional school setting. I teach a couple small groups of boys and girls who briefly live away from their parents now. Show us your life and give advice on classroom issues.
Thankful for anything you post. You have great positive energy. You have the best personality. I would say for me going back and redoing some of your older videos with what you are currently doing I would love to see. I love all the ideas and tips you share. I also like when you show how you use your TPT products. love ya girl!!
Hey Miss May!! I love your videos. Please don’t stop making videos! Personally, I would love to see more teaching videos. Like actual teaching lessons. There are so many teachers posting “day in the life” and I don’t really care about that lol. I want to be a better teacher. I love seeing teachers actually TEACH. One thing I would love to learn from you is how you make lessons engaging for your kids. I struggle big time with teaching my curriculum in a way that’s not boring. I know that might be tricky to do without recording your kids. I would also love to see more of your daily routines as a first grade teacher- especially MATH! Just some ideas! I’m a seasoned teacher but always trying to learn and get new ideas….I feel like my routines aren’t as smooth and predictable as they should be for my kids❤️
I is agree.
Thank you Miss May for your youtube channel. I appreciate you!
Video ideas.. I am a first year first grade teacher in a private school. I would love to hear more on curriculm itself. Maybe strategies that help struggling readers and children learn the abstract concepts that come with first grade for example place value, heart to heart stuff, team building activities. How to correct the mean kid mentality without breaking their spirit etc..
Maybe do videos about how to approach different severe behaviors with tier 3 students. Also, what to do with small groups and large group with tier 3 students that are struggling a lot. Also, maybe how you keep it engaging while teaching, but also teaching the curriculum. How to make Math fun when teaching it etc. I agree that teaching during covid is hard for sure! I am teaching PreK this year and it has given myself a break after last year teaching. Last year was hard for sure! The year before that was interesting bc I was 100% virtual and missed being in-person. I know after this school year, I will be recharged and I am working on time managment other things so when I go back to Kinder/First, I do better with a work/life balance. I am doing well with balancing this school year and took months to get there, but I am there now. I am working out too so then I actually do self care this yr
I like the rain too and I live in WA where it rains a lot lol!! By March I'm ready for something different.
When you said, "it's hard out here for a black woman!" I felt that sis.
Thank you for all you do. You're legit like my big sis in my head. Have you ever thought about mentoring people? I would definitely sign up because Lord knows I need help.
How do you find balance in your life? I think that's been the hardest part for me.
Well said. Thanks for sharing!
Give it to God. You are so right. I am an inclusion teacher and don’t feel like I’m helping my students. I think I need sometime off to regroup. So I’m leaving teaching full time and sub two days a week. Prayer is power. Thank you for your transparency. Blessing to you always.
I've been following you for years, Miss May. In terms of video content ideas, if it's not too much extra work for you, I would love to know how you teach specific units. I feel that that area is often overlooked in youtube and, of course, every teacher is different, but for us new teachers, sometimes a simple "how I teach addition" or "how I teach x science unit" is incredibly helpful.
Miss May you are fabulous. I love how you share so many wonderful tips and ideas about classroom management, organization and building relationships. These You Tube videos are so helpful and inspiring. So sorry to hear about your struggles. Thank you for your honesty. Know that you are not alone. Enjoy your Thanksgiving and your break!
Thank you so much for your honesty!! Many of us have been feeling it also. Hearing your encouragement and honesty helps. Have you thought of having us ask you how to manage or organize or teach certain things and then you could create different videos based on our questions? I have followed you for years and I love your approach to teaching especially as a Christian. I have found your videos so helpful! You are like my personal PD. You really have changed the way I teach. I would love to learn as much as I can from you!!💕
I love all of your content! I’ve been feeling it lately too… lots of changes to my grade level. I would love to see a video about how your faith impacts your job. Sending hugs 🤗 ❤
Hey Miss May! Could you post videos about your small group learning centers for your Math and ELA blocks? Activity ideas, management, rotations- things like that? Thank you! What a blessing you are! Michelle from LI, NY😊❤🙏🏼
Sure! ((Hugs))
@@OneFABTeacher Thank you!!!!!💛
Anything that would make me a better teacher: lessons, classroom management, set up classroom, parent management etc
Thank you for sharing your frustrations! Many of us feel the exact same way! Could you do a video on how you handle students with Tier 3 behaviors and severe ADHD? It would be great to hear how you manage those challenging behaviors with your students. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful tips and tricks these past 5 years!
I appreciate your kind words and your support. Thank you for the video suggestions. ((HUGS))
Thank you Miss May for sharing your struggle! I can relate on the comparison trap and that devil is working all the time. But we have a God that is too. ♡
I would love to see videos on your bucket filler lessons! Or your tips on how to be a bucket filler. I am in an education program and I want to incorporate anything that will promote a positive classroom environment.
I will definitely, talk more about this. I do have a few videos on it too. Many ((HUGS))❣️
I. Love. It. All! ((Hugs)) you got this!!!
Hi Miss May!!! Yes that devil is always working smh. I have been letting him get the best of me. I am student teaching now and things have been really crazy. If you are stuck just do on of these videos I feel like I am in the car actually talking to you. Please don't get discouraged. I do want to know how do you stay organized do you use a teacher planner, personal planner for your home life, do you still scripture write? Have a great weekend and enjoy your break!!! Thank you for this video!!
That devil is truly something else. I will definitely, do the car videos when I feel stuck. I do use a planner that I keep all my information in both personal and professional so I'm not using two. Yes, I have continued scripture writing. However, I did stop and I could tell I had stopped. Thank you for being such a loyal subscriber. I appreciate you. Keep going, sunshine! ((HUGS))
@@OneFABTeacher I love your videos they help me so much. I have been watching them for about 2 or 3 years now. I hope one day to be an amazing teacher and person just like you are. I am glad you started back scripture writing I plan on starting back. I am looking for a planner system so I can stop carrying two planners.
Several years ago, when I was drinking 3 cups of coffee per day (a LITTLE coffee in my sugar AND cream LOL), I started having migraines. Eventually vertigo hit me like a tsunami and I was knocked off my feet for a week!!! Couldn't get up for 3 days without vomiting. The doctor said I'd have to live with it and it could happen at any time. I went to an iridologist who also has a vitamin store. She told me it won't just pop up on me, as long as I do not intake sugar, creamer, black tea and caffeine. I can eat my dark chocolate but only once or twice a week. My body tells me when I have eaten too much sugar - first, I get a headache, then I start feeing the dizziness. Next, the vertigo would hit if I didn't stop eating the sugar and caffein. If this is what happened to you, just eliminate the store processed sugar and creamer, as they are loaded with junk that is hard for our bodies to metabolize. Thanks for your video. God bless you - love you! With prayer, of course, and listening to your videos over the years, I always think if Miss May can be a loving, encouraging teacher to her students, so can I. Thank you SOOO much for sharing and teaching us teachers out here how to be kind and accepting of our students. Again, thanks tremendously!!! It has helped me over the years with the lil rascals.
I love rain too!!! Enjoy your much needed break!!! Mine isn't until next Tuesday, November 22 😢
May you please talk about how you have been feeling with Teaching? I am a fourth year High School Spanish Teacher and I do think it is hard being a black Teacher. Our boundaries automatically translate to us "being mean/lazy/inflexible". Then administration looks at us a certain way because we have those boundaries set.
I'm planning my exit plan because my first few years of teaching I was micromanaged. I respect what you said about taking care of your body-Not just in the realm of losing weight but making sure you feel good. That resonates with me because I wake up anxious due to Teaching.
I am so sorry to hear this. We need teachers and very few people, except teachers, know how difficult this job is. I hope you find your way whether it is to stay or to exit. I feel for you!
Miss May, have you ever thought that your power of EXAMPLE is to include the struggles, too? You are NOT alone in the struggle, so tell us WHAT and HOW you persevere in this season of career. Apply the same model of "teaching" to these strategies...exemplars of, "Give it to God," "Take care of your body..." and more...what and HOW! WE ARE YOUR students... love you, back! Happy THANKSGIVING!
Thank you for the suggestion and thank you for your support. ((HUGS))
I’m on my second year of retirement. I am enjoying it very much! I loved my job (1st grade), but.. my 54 year old body could not keep going. I struggle with PsA and Lupus… the hardest part of not being teacher anymore is feeling a loss of identity.. and I miss that rock-star feeling walking down the hall and getting hugs and greetings.. I have been creating TpT, BOOM cards, and TinyTap Games which is really mostly a hobby not a huge $ maker. I enjoy your videos even though I’m no longer in the classroom, maybe because I love Jesus, too! ❤️🙏🏻😊
I like these types of videos!
I love your videos and they inspired me to show up for my students more! But yes as my first year of teaching I struggle asking the question 😂 what is it? I would love videos on good lesson plan strategies ❤
God is using you and I know He Will Make Away❣️🙏
Yes, HE will! ((HUGS))
I think you should do your old tips and tricks all your content so it’s fresh.
Your videos have been so helpful! How do you organize your math tubs for math? Do you rotate games in those? How many games/activities do you have in your math tubs?
I can do a video on this! Yay! ((HUGS))
I’m so sorry it’s been hard! Keep looking to Jesus!
I think what is cool and unique about you and your RUclips videos is that you have so much experience and passion- all at the same time!
When I was in college, a lot of professors had passion but the experience side was lacking for them since they had been out of the classroom for a while, making their advice not always applicable.
The cool thing is that you have the passion (even on the hard days) and the encouragement for us to keep doing it! But you also have the experience, and you get it! So your advice is applicable!
I’m not sure if this would be too much work but I’ve seen some RUclipsrs take peoples emails/stories and talk about them. I think it would be cool if you did that except gave advice about handling different situations! Just a thought!
Slow cooker are the best, pop everything in and it’s ready by dinner. Soda, oh no girl watch that sugar. Have you tried pineapple juice from dole 100% do 40 % then 60 water. Or instead of water do sparkling soda water. Use cranberry great for the liver & other female things.
Take care you . Yes, redo some of your best video. Also, Topic on how can parents feel what’s going on in class. As a parent we are still not allowed to go in the school. How do parents get to know how our teachers are thought.
God bless you 💕
Thank you ((Hugs))
Wishing you a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!
We dont get out until dec 23:(
