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 have been looking for a resource and wanting to incorporate something like this in my classroom for the past 2 years. I FINALLY did it this year and I am so happy that I did. The students and I looked forward to it every morning. If we didn’t get to do it in the morning because a parent or another teacher or the principal needed to talk with me, the students were disappointed. I posted it right near our door so that the kids could choose one of the greetings on their way in each morning. It was such a quick and easy way to connect and check in with each kiddo in the morning. It such a simple thing, and takes a few minutes, but it is so worth it!

I used this with my students every morning as they are walking into the classroom. I made a rule that they could never use the same things twice in a week. I feel that it got the students to open up a little. I am so disappointed that I won’t be able to use it this coming year due to COVID.

I used this with my students first thing every morning. They LOVED it! If I had prep first thing, they would do it with the other teachers. They would line up at the door and wait for me to finish letting in the other students.
