When we created this set of January Daily Welcome Messages, we had a few goals in mind.
- We wanted to encourage students to talk a little. This is the first thing many teachers do in the morning as they enter the building. Many students want to do the same!
- We wanted to encourage students to wake up! We provided an idea for a quick stretch and a quick movement exercise. Some days students are encouraged to think of their own.
- We wanted to encourage students to wake up their brains as well! We have included a quick questions. For written answers, we envision students using a white board, recording answers in a shared area or even adding the info to their daily journal.
- We wanted to give students a little fun fact. We have included a fun fact for each day – each fact is either specific to the day or the overall month.
How to Use these January Daily Welcome Messages
We are providing this file as a PDF.
You will open the PDF and display the correct day on your SmartBoard.
Either choose a student to write in the information about the day, year and weather or allow the first students who enter the room to complete these fill in tasks.
We hope these help save you time in the morning and engage your students!

So sorry to hear that Kathleen. :( Maybe you could print and laminate them. Students could use a dry erase or Vis-a-Vis marker on them so they could easily be wiped off and reused from year to year. You could display them on a calendar, bulletin board or other prominent spot in your room and change them out daily with Velcro or sticky-tack. Just a few suggestions if you would like to be able to use them even without a smart board. :)
