[@tanyamoorer931]

Fantastic idea for any grade! Love this!

[@OneFABTeacher]

Thank you! 😊 Many ((HUGS))

[@owlsry4093]

My 25 year old was the DAILY naughty call kid starting in Kindergarten His entire school career was difficult. I wish, wish, wish you would’ve been his teacher. It makes a difference. My heart hurt everyday. When the number showed up on Caller ID....I would just start crying. It was never a Love Call. You are AWESOME!

[@tiania2658]

You are a breath of fresh air. I have been teaching for 3 decades. I am moving to a new district that is more structured . They are stressing that loving discipline for students . Some have experience genuine trauma . You are such a blessing to the educational community. Thank you so much. I love love love the love calls.

[@Delim2011]

I’m a second year teacher and I did this! I gave a love call while my principal was observing me for my full observation. She gave me a shout out at the staff meeting. She loves it! I give love calls every single day! The smile on my kiddos and the smiles through the phone, from my parents, is priceless. This has created such a positive classroom culture. I will do this every year!!

[@Yesica1993]

Oh, man, this is such an amazing idea! What an uplifting thing for both the kids and the parent/family member!

[@OneFABTeacher]

Thank you sooooo much!! (( H U G S ))

[@DarinNakakihara]

I felt like Chloe was right there in the room. I am totally doing this next year!

[@OneFABTeacher]

+Darin Nakakihara lolololol thanks Darin for stopping by friend! I know you and the Mrs are enjoying your vacation!! ((Hugs))

[@amysueandthecrew5244]

Teachers should get love calls from other teachers! Supporting each other like this would be cool!

[@OneFABTeacher]

+AmySue Crawford that would be cool. ((Hugs))

[@CJReynolds]

Love love calls!!! I first thought it was just you calling home with a positive report but you took it to that next level! I would absolutely LOVE if my kiddo got to call me in the middle of the day, and I know how much it would impact them as well!! All elementary teachers should do this!! Especially those that don't think the parents are involved! I think it's part of our job to help them get involved and what a excellent way to do it!!! All through positivity and love!! PERFECT!! 🙌🏽

[@OneFABTeacher]

Reynold's that's why I LOVE doing them, because I know you parents would LOVE that. I believe all elementary teachers should definitely do this. I agree it's part of our job to get them involved. Positivity and love is the key!! ((HUGS)) friend

[@tracymil1]

Miss May you are the best.

[@primaryletters1638]

I love your joy for teaching! Your passion is contagious.

[@OneFABTeacher]

+Primary Letters thank you soooo much sunshine!! ((Hugs))

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

This is such a sweet idea! I call them "sunshine calls" but I don't do them nearly as often as I should. I like the idea of having the child speak with their parent telling what great thing they did. 😄👍 Yes, it's a great idea to build a good rapport with with parents and students.

[@cynthiaa.guyton6606]

Ms May, I want to be like you when I grow up in my teaching career :)! You are so inspiring!

[@OneFABTeacher]

Ms MoMo LuvsSci I agree 100! It is a game changer when you show students and parents that you recognise their behaviour and hard work in a positive way.

[@bevmal6865]

Just found your channel. Love your energy and positive attitude. Most of all, I love that you love God. Looking forward to viewing your videos and implementing all your great advice in my classroom this year. :)

Miss May you are a true gem!!! Thank God for people like you!? You are very inspiring and I appreciate your efforts with promoting kindness! I will be student teaching in the fall and I wish you were apart of whereever God blesses me to be, because your passion and desires can be very effective for first Year teachers!!! Thanks for being what God intends for us to be, genuine, passionate, and loving. Stay true to yourself because it reflects God's grace and His love for His children!! Additionally, continue to let your gift to teach shine!!! I may not know you but I love your spirit stay Bless my sister!! Mrs. Brehm

[@OneFABTeacher]

+C Brehm This comment has truly made my night. I appreciate these words. Thank God for people like you who spread kindness like this. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ((Hugs))

[@KateTheSleepyTeacher]

I absolutely love this, T. I often do emails home and I love to entitle it behaviour. You can imagine how nervous they get and then they open it and it is completely different than they expect. They are always so appreciative to get these positive notes that show what their child is doing and being recognised for. It is so amazing yet so simple to do :)

[@OneFABTeacher]

+Kate The Sleepy Teacher Kat it really does make a difference. You are so right too, it's so amazing yet so simple to do. ((Hugs))

[@KateTheSleepyTeacher]

One FAB Teacher I keep a running list so that I know who I have and have not recognized. I have 50+ students so it's easy for me to forget or miss someone !

[@OneFABTeacher]

Of course! That's so important! I just know your parents and students adore you!!!

[@morgansilva2092]

That is beyond beautiful! I am going to share this with my colleagues. I know a few who will most definitely love to do this. Beautiful Ms. May....just beautiful!

[@OneFABTeacher]

Thank you so much Morgan! Your kind words are greatly appreciated. (( H U G S ))

[@rockingdanteachingman]

Great ideas Miss May. Kindness wins well done Miss May. I like the way you give examples of how you do things! Wonderful ideas!

[@SarahhFeddyy]

Such a sweet idea! I really didn't enjoy how many negative phone calls home I was making last year, so I think I might want to try something like this :)

[@OneFABTeacher]

+SarahhFeddyy yes LOVE CALLS!! Let me know how it goes this year. Thanks for your support sunshine! ((Hugs))

[@KafoopleLand]

"Get a little Hollywood" love that ❤️

[@OneFABTeacher]

+LAGESHIAMOORE yes they are! Thank you for your continued support! ((Hugs))

[@queendelaclassroom6450]

Thanks for sharing...I LUV this Miss May! I will try this with my classes. I agree that prayer works.

[@OneFABTeacher]

You're so welcome! Have a FAB school year! ((HUGS))

[@theteacherstribe8392]

Miss May, I love the titles that you give to your strategies. Each new video makes me realize that I am not alone in my approach and it is refreshing. I send "Greatness Notes" home in addition to making phone calls (never called them love calls though :) I usually get my notes translated (for my ELLs) and parents get to respond and I display the greatness notes. You should check out the Nurtured Heart Approach (NHA) by Howard Glasser. A lot of what you is a lot like NHA. I have been using it in my classrooms for several years.

[@OneFABTeacher]

Thank you so much! I will definitely check out The Nurtured Heart Approach. It just sounds like something I would do. LOL Thank you for sharing. I just LOVE sending positive emails, notes, and love calls. The more positive in a child's life the better. ((HUGS))

[@vernekawatson3719]

You are definitely an inspiration. I always come here for tips on ways I can implement new things into my future classroom as well as my student teaching class. I love your amazing spirit. I hope you have an awesome school year!! Keep the videos coming Miss.May!! You rock!!

[@OneFABTeacher]

Thank you so much!!! I just want to share ideas with others and hope to help. ((HUGS)) and Blessings sunshine!

[@heatherplumbear]

I love this idea thank you! I homeschool, but still such a positive motivator! Can't wait to use this! Keep being fab!!💕

[@DeNay1908]

Adding another FAB idea to my list!!!! Thank you!

[@OneFABTeacher]

LOL You're welcome sunshine! Thank you for always stopping by. ((HUGS))

[@SchoolHouseRap]

Sometimes I DO make that love call to my mom in the middle of the day!! 😀 I love this idea! Thanks for sharing! 💕

[@OneFABTeacher]

+School House Rap I wish I could in the middle of reading, writing, or math. However, I'm blessed I talk to her on the way to school every morning. I can call her on my lunch so I have to be grateful of what I get. Thanks for stopping by! ((Hugs))

[@shauntaay]

This is awesome!!! Hopefully I'll be able to implement this in my classroom!

[@OneFABTeacher]

Thank you! ((HUGS))

[@AhappyteacherAtruestory]

[@LindseyMichelle35]

[@KellyMillerldspoetry]

Try voice to text on DOJO. They live to watch the words appear and get an emoji from their parent

[@donnawrights6821]

I agree. I don't want my parents to cringe when they see my phone number. Kindness, let's make this trend 2017-2018

[@OneFABTeacher]

+Donna Wright's Not at all we don't want our parents to cringe when they see our numbers. Kindness wins!! ((Hugs))

[@CarlyUTube]

I am a grown adult but I have to ask ...... Can I be a student in your class......???? Pleassssse Miss May!!! Pleaseeee

[@Yesica1993]

@ CarlyUTube "I am a grown adult but I have to ask ...... Can I be a student in your class......???? Pleassssse Miss May!!! Pleaseeee" " Hahaha! I feel the same way! I just discovered her channel and am binge watching like crazy!

[@chocolateisnatural]

I'm doing this!

[@OneFABTeacher]

+chocolateisnatural yay!!!! (( HUGS ))

[@skyewakeley1875]

Hello Ms.May, how often do you do love calls? Weekly per child? Once a month?

[@vjules6135]

Hey Ms. May! I LOVE this idea!I know as a parent I would have loved to have received a love call about one of my babies! This might be a silly question (remember I'm new to all of this) but once parents get your cell phone number, do they ever use your number instead of school email or dojo? I guess I worry about getting late night calls from parents.

[@OneFABTeacher]

Awwww...This is why I do them, because it's a FAB way to connect to parents. I'll be honest I'm fine with parents having my phone number. I've never had an issue with parents being disrespectful with time. I use REMIND text so much that we talk so much through that, parents hardly ever used my cell number. REMIND is an excellent service to connect with parents. ((HUGS))

[@vjules6135]

One FAB Teacher Thanks!😊

[@gabrielavelazquez5763]

I have a question before starting the love calls do you inform the parents about love calls beforehand or ask them when is the best time to call... or do you do it randomly ?

[@tiaraparchman1908]

Good question!!

[@staceyj3667]

What do you have the kids do when you're doing love calls? I like making thise calls thats just the part I need help with

[@helenalee4267]

I’m a new subscriber! I’ve been teaching for a few years, but I feel like things are getting old and I just need some new ideas, and I found you! I would like to try doing love calls, but I just have a few questions. Do you use the school phone or your cell phone? Can you call numbers with a different area code with your school phone? Or do you use your cell phone without showing your number? Thanks for your ideas!

[@OneFABTeacher]

Thank you for subscribing! I use my own cell phone. Only because we don't have phones in our classrooms. I just call with my number. I don't care. I've never had a parent abuse it before. I would definitely do what your comfortable with though. Happy love calling! ((Hugs))

[@Riedlteach]

Great idea! Question for you... Do you keep track of how many Love Calls each child gets? I would think that if I do it, then I'd favor certain students and then forget about others. You know what I mean?

[@OneFABTeacher]

+Mr. Riedl yes I do keep track of love calls to keep it fair. (( HUGS ))

[@fifthgradefam8892]

Do you call through Remind or your personal number?

[@AfricanBeauty243]

do you use your personal phone or the school phone ? I'm not a fan of having my personal number out there
