Enter GroValley

Let's take a closer look!

Maneesha and Wanda use virtual reality to transport themselves to Learnia! Learnia is a magical place that represents Manesha's mind and how it learns. Learnia is made up of EZ Town, GroValley, and Potentia.

Maneesha first finds herself in EZ Town, which seems like a lot of fun at first, but gets SUPER BORING really fast. However, once she gets to GroValley and faces challenges, she reveals to Wanda that she doesn't believe she's capable of growing. She thinks some people are good at things, and some people just aren't. Remember:

• EZ Town represents things you already know how to do. You're not challenged to do new things in EZ Town, and doing things you already know how to do isn't very fun.

• Gro Valley represents things you don't yet know how to do, and the challenges that come along with it.

• When things are new, everyone starts out as a beginner and only gets good with effort and practice.

• In order to learn, you need to believe you can learn. In order to enter Gro Valley. you need to have the right mindset.

Questions to think about...

1. What are some things that belong in your EZ Town? Do you get bored doing those things?

2. While in EZ Town, Maneesha gets a math problem wrong, then quickly corrects herself. What kind of mistake was that?

3. How does Maneesha summon the Boat of Belief?
