You're the human representation of the saying praise loudly and correct softly. I think you are truly inspirational and I am not afraid to say I binge watched a tonne of your videos.

[@casablanca5081]

Hello, Ms. May!! I am a fresh graduate and I started teaching recently. It has been so hard and frustrating most of the times that I almost quit. But I am so glad that I didn't and that's because of you. Your videos helped me a lot, and I just want to thank you for all your help and your existence!

[@CoolCraftyCreations]

[@tinaleonard4568]

I just want to say thank you so much for what you do! I just love your videos and I really appreciate you reminding your viewers of how God will make a way! Chances are that a lot of your viewers will come to watch your videos when frustrated, at wits end, and searching for solutions to make this teaching thing easier and more enjoyable. Your positive spirit and encouragement is just what they need!

[@OneFABTeacher]

Thank you so much for supporting my channel and leaving a fab comment like this. I appreciate the kindness so much. I humbly thank you! Comments like these really keep me encouraged. ((HUGS))

Love that you did this WITH tour kids. Thank you!

[@OneFABTeacher]

((HUGS))😉

[@celiabrasfield1652]

Thank you for the explanation! I was looking for attention getters, thinking primarily for noise level and extra instruction, but I LOVE the reminder to use it for positive praise also. You rock.

[@MsAlison]

aww, i really like the hocus pocus everybody focus one.

[@jazminet.daniel241]

Gods light shines through you. Thank you for the inspiration 💜💜

[@OneFABTeacher]

Awww, thank you so much sister in Christ. Thank you for your kindness. ((HUGS))

[@sarahschroeder4768]

this was so great! Moving from middle school to elementary and needed some fun ideas geared towards younger students! Thanks!

[@smokie4jesus]

My attention getter has been Chris Biffles' Class-Yes. It works pretty well and they seem to love it when I say things like "Classity-class" or "Oh my class!" But Your attention getters have got me thinking...This might be a good one "One two three" -"Jesus Loves Me" Thanks for your video ideas and encouragement

[@adrianamaedacoteco9620]

I am a Brazilian P.E teacher, and I loved it your tips! thank you!

[@m_ianO]

Thank you Miss.May

[@OneFABTeacher]

You are so welcome. ((HUGS)) ❣️

[@AishaLewis]

Thank you for making this video on attention getters. I’ve been searching for catchy fun ones, and now I have a few to try with my kiddos. My favorite was the hocus pocus, everybody focus, and Macaroni cheese, everybody freeze. I love how your kiddos are so excited and engaged with these attention getters! Great video, and you seem such a wonderful kind hearted, and fun teacher! 💕

[@casper35280]

Ms. May your an awesome role model and i love how much you care for your children. Is going to be my first time teaching a class next week and i feel less nervous after viewing all your ideas and techniques in definitely using the "macaroni cheese"...thank youuu❤

[@OneFABTeacher]

You are so sweet and kind. I appreciate your kind words and your support. It means so much to me. Rock that teaching! ((HUGS)) and Blessings

[@CoolCraftyCreations]

You are truly on Purpose! Love your jovial attitude with your children! I soooo want to instruct, but on an adult level. Love to communicate with adults in a classroom. Real world subjects are cool with adults that are working full time. However, Just wanted to say that

[@OneFABTeacher]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your kindness and support. ((Hugs))

[@fernandaiglesias3502]

I love what u Say...be passionate...that's it!!

[@grammie2eight]

Thanks for sharing I think this is even something we could put In use in preschool!!!

[@OneFABTeacher]

+mombjl S. YES they can!!!!! ((Hugs)) and Blessings

[@tinaleonard4568]

mombjl S. Hi, I know this is an older comment, but I just wanted to say that they actually work quite well for preschoolers! I used them when I first started teaching (3 yr olds). I would say "flat tire" and they would respond with "shhhhh". It was super cute and and effective in getting their attention. Most importantly, they LOVED it!

[@emojki2008]

I wish I had you as a teacher when I was a firstie

[@OneFABTeacher]

+Milka Namina awwwww thank you so much! This comment made Miss May rally smile. ((Hugs))

[@honey_bee-gb]

Bro 😂❤

[@javinebaez9158]

Ms. May, do u do centers for reading and math? How did u implement them? I was doing centers but just as a fun Friday reward but now my principal wants us to do them daily and I'm a little overwhelmed with doing daily 5 type activities...mostly the transitions from one activity to the next. Any ideas? I could do an attention getter but how much time to transition from one to the next? Help!

[@kc-bi6qh]

Thank you so much for the advice! I just love your videos! I’m taking notes so I can be better prepared for this upcoming school year. One callback that really helped me this past school year was saying, “Shhh, shhh, shhh” and the students say, “shhh, shhh, shhh” back. I use different patterns, volumes, and speeds of the “shh” noise and kids repeat back however I do it. It gets the class quiet very quickly. Wasn’t sure if you’d done that callback before, so I thought I would just mention it 🙂 Take care ♥️

[@OneFABTeacher]

I'm going to try that callback. I love learning new ones. Thank you for sharing. ((HUGS))

[@sharonkeys2839]

Just now came across these videos. I wish you could come to Kansas to help me. It’s my first year teaching and I on a temporary certified license while I finish graduate school. By the way I love Jesus he is one who makes our classroom possible and to be at peace!

[@tykeaholiver754]

Love all of your attention grabbers! Thank you for introducing educators to all of your awesome call backs! I use the following .... Red Robin: Yummm If you can hear me clap your hands: Clap Clap Clap Waterfall: Everyone hands shimmers down❤️❤️ I love Hocus Pocus: Everyone focus❤️✨🍎 if I am spelling Pocus correctly😩🤦🏾‍♀️ forgive me. Love love love your channel💗💗💗 Great Teacher

[@KafoopleLand]

[@OneFABTeacher]

[@skjones46]

[@rockingdanteachingman]

I love your attention getters Miss May! Thanks for your explanation of how you use them Great job. I'm going to try some of them tomorrow! Have you tried saying "Rocking" and then the kids say "Dan"? :)

[@OneFABTeacher]

Love it Dan!!!!!! Thank you Dan for always stopping by! Have a fab day! ((Hugs))

[@dakotacampbell1358]

[@MyKeturah]

Awwww I'm impressed

[@OneFABTeacher]

Thank you so much! ((HUGS))

[@pocketfulofpositivity3574]

Do you use random attention getters throughout the day? Or do you stay consistent and use one throughout the year or one per month? Or do you mix it up to keep it interesting? Do you come up with a few as a class on the first day of school or during the first week??? I want to use a few as well but I'm not sure if it'll sort of affect the routine since different ones may be hard for students to keep up with? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm binge watching your videos because I truly love your teaching style xx hope you don't mind!

[@OneFABTeacher]

+Pocketful of Positivity I use random ones throughout the year. I have to mix them up to keep them excited about it. I would just use ones that your kiddos can handle. Teach them consistently the first week. I usually teach them four different ones the first couple of weeks and change them up and introduce more every few months. (( HUGS )) have a fab year!
