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!”

Great resource that was easy to print and display.
Melissa Szatkowski –
My students love these morning greetings. At the beginning of the year, I greet them at the door; however, as the year progresses, it becomes a job for a student. They get to greet their friends as they arrive at school.

We used this for 2 months of Morning Greetings in the classroom. I let the student of the day choose how we should greet our friends each day. They loved it and enjoyed the variety of ways to greet each other. From dabbing to saluting, they loved all of them!! Great resource!!
