Happy Monday! Did Monday whoop up on anyone else today?! My ‘staches were great and we got a lot accompolished but…man…Monday wore me out!
Today I want to share a simple, fun and free (or uber cheap….um, who doesn’t love cheap?!) morning message greeting that gets us up and moving and builds our number recognition!
All you need is some address labels, a marker and some students!
Program a sheet of sticky labels with numbers.
Place a label on each child.
Start the greeting by greeting a child. Instead of saying their name, greet them with the number. “Good morning 11!”
After you greet the student, you take their place and they choose a friend to greet by number. Continue until all students have been greeted.
My ‘staches giggled and laughed all during our greeting today. They were engaged, learning numbers and having fun!
This greeting can also be used for shapes, ten frames, letters, sounds and so much more!
And now a little freebie…
So, sometimes Mr. Greg forgets…things tend to slip my mind..like the fact that it was a new month and we needed calendar numbers! OOPS! So we did without calendar numbers today…but now we have some because I just made some! Feel free to download a set for yourself!
Don’t forget that the TPT Cyber Monday and Tuesday sale is happening now! I’ve been loading up my cart all day long!!! I love a good sale and so does JT!

Love the idea of the morning greetings….we could use the number practice, and also sight words!
Question: How did you make the collage of images for your preview of your “What Does the Fox Say?” pack? Fun app maybe? Thanks!
That is such a clever idea! I can see so many ways to incorporate this with letters, words, colours… Thanks for sharing your genius! 🙂

I love this idea! I have done this with sight words, but not numbers- and boy do some of them need some number work. THANK YOU!
