About this resource

What's inside this resource

This one-page greetings poster gives students four ways to say good morning as they walk in: Wave, Say "Hello!", Thumbs up or Just come in. Each choice fills a large panel with a bright picture (a waving hand, a speaking face, a raised thumb and an open door with an arrow) above a short, bold label.

The heading reads "Choose your greeting. No touching needed." and the footer adds "You're welcome with any choice." Just come in is the same size as the other three options, so a student who would rather not gesture or speak still has an equal choice. Students can point to a panel or simply do the greeting, which keeps arrival quick and low-pressure for early readers.

  • Elementary arrival routines: picture-supported words for K–2 readers
  • One poster: four greeting choices on a letter-size page
  • Two PDFs: a color poster, or a black and white one for the office copier
