Winter Wishes: Community Wishing Tree

Encourage self-expression

In this lesson, students will express their hopes, dreams, or kind wishes for the upcoming year by writing them on leaf-shaped cutouts and attaching them to a collective 'wishing tree' display. This activity fosters a sense of community and shared positivity as students see their goals and dreams united in one place. It helps students develop self-expression and empathy by considering their own wishes and those of their peers.
