Deep Kindness Journal: To combat the inevitable confusion and loneliness ahead of us, we are offering a Kindness Practice every day for at least the next 30 days - and ALL of them can be done even if you can't leave home. It will take you 10 minutes or less and it will be designed to give yourself, your community, and this world a daily dose of generosity, connection, empathy, and Love.
This activity would be perfect for 4th-8th graders. There is a kindness prompt everyday, along with a downloadable journal entry. Please note, you do have to provide a name and email to sign up.
