This is such a wonderful way to begin or end each day. I have some creative suggestions for you included in the packet. These are ideal to have your students share with their peers and not just the teacher. You can spin for a greeting, roll for a greeting, and even spin for a a hello or goodbye. There is a data collection page for students favorites and a creative way to have students share their exciting news. Enjoy!!
