New Year's Gratitude Garland

Express gratitude and set goals

In this lesson, students will create a 'gratitude garland' where each piece of paper is decorated with something they are thankful for and a wish or goal for the new year. This activity not only decorates the classroom but also serves as a collective symbol of gratitude and aspiration. It helps students reflect on positive aspects of their lives and encourages them to think about their future goals, fostering a sense of community and positivity.
