The lesson
Sometimes a task feels hard. First, try it yourself. Give it a real try, not just one peek.
Try it together
Mia tries to zip her coat. She tries three times, but it will not zip. Mia asks her teacher, and they zip it together.
Good to know
Asking for help is not giving up. It means you know a smart next step.
Try it first, then ask for help if you're stuck.
