What Teachers Are Saying About The Attendance Question of the Day Slideshow:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ These were SO fun to incorporate into our Morning Meetings! They helped students to get ready for the day and they love learning the fun facts.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Love these attendance questions! I usually ask a question of the day for attendance but now I don't need to think and can just have it ready to go when kids enter the room. They love trying to guess true or false or whether it's false because it's actually more or less than the question asks. We're learning great facts too!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My kids love seeing these attendance questions each day! It has sparked some pretty interesting conversations and research!
