1. Provide a stack of postcards with various images. Have the students choose two cards, one that shows how they feel when faced with a tough conflict, and a second one that shows how they feel when they have solved a conflict peacefully and successfully.

2. Have a circle discussion where students share and explain the cards they picked.

3. Have students put their address on the “successfully solved a conflict” card. Have them write a short encouraging note on it or create a note yourself.

4. Mail these to the students in late August as a welcome to the new school year!
