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 loved starting my day with these. It helped at the beginning of the year form relationships with my students and they loved the interaction with me each morning and the choices offered.

Everyday the students come in they point at the printout. They are excited to greet me. I’ve also allowed other students to be the greater. It helps with improving peer interaction. Thank you.
