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!”

I’ve used this resource when I taught Pre-K, 5th grade, and now with 1st grade. I highly recommend this for any early learning or elementary level. All my students seem to love having this to start our day. I can always tell when one of them needs a little TLC based on their choice. I think it helps them feel valued and cared for.
