Example: Leah is kind. Her kindness is shown when she says she doesn’t want others to “feel her disappointment” and that she wants them to “feel good.” She is also determined. she “didn’t give up” even though buying 500 boxes "might sound impossible," and she ended up with "2,675 boxes."

Talk about your plan.
Example: I notice that some classmates often feel bored during lunch break, and I see that our school library doesn’t have many picture books for younger students. One small thing I can do is to bring a few interesting books to share and try to organize a small book-sharing corner. I hope that everyone will enjoy reading more, so that our classroom will become a happier place, and we can all “add a little colour” to our school.
