Here is what teachers are saying about this Morning Greeting Choices Resource:
“This resource is a great classroom and community builder. I love saying good morning to my students and giving them the opportunity to change the way they say hello. The socially distant choices are great to give students who are still not ready for physical interactions. This resource also allows me to learn my students’ personalities and how they are feeling each morning.”
“This is a very engaging and exciting way for students to say hello in the mornings.”
“I love, love, love this! It was so easy to print and laminate and BOOM- done. I love that it comes with so many different options. Great resource and perfect for primary!”

This resource is an excellent way to build relationships with students. At the beginning of the school year, my class bonded as we looked at all the choices for greeting each other in the morning and created a choice board together for the hallway. My students love choosing the greeting they are most comfortable with each day. The greetings are fun, colorful, creative, and multicultural! Many of them make us laugh, which is always a fun way to start the day. There is something that fits all my student’s personalities. I highly recommend this resource!

I bought the morning greetings and printed them in black and white since I was out of colored ink- I love that you provided both the color and/or the black and white option. I relaxed over the weekend using all my beautiful colored pencils by coloring in all the cute greetings. I was able to cut them out and mount them on colored circles that I had and then laminated. I put 4 options on my door that are prominantly displayed, when kids are dropped off at the daycare center by parents/providers in my 3-4 year old classroom space.. It is a great way to start the day for both the kids and me. I plan on rotating all the options evey few weeks. The only one small downfall is that there was no option to do the elbow touch! No big deal- I do the elbow touch with the adult dropping them off and the child gets to pick his/her own option:)
