Description
Join Riley from sunrise to sunset in this interactive sorting challenge! Students will step into Riley’s shoes as they navigate a typical day—from facing a burnt breakfast to tackling a tough math quiz and reflecting in their bedroom at night. In this deck, students must act as Riley's "inner coach," identifying whether Riley’s thoughts and actions represent a Fixed Mindset (feeling stuck or giving up) or a Growth Mindset (embracing challenges and the power of "yet"). By analyzing these 25 real-world scenarios, students learn to recognize their own internal dialogue and understand that intelligence and skills can grow with effort and the right strategy.
