Once the students are done writing their notes, have each read their letters aloud. This activity will also improve their confidence to express their ideas and feelings before an audience.

Lastly, pin all the notes on the bulletin board and label it as the 'Wall of Kindness.' You can also paste a giant-sized heart cut out from cardboard and paste all the notes on it.

Divided into two
The leaves I give to others
The heart I give to you.
