We had a good day again. A question came up about using wikipedia for research today. I have always said that they can use it. They are doing research for some more mainstream things and the information on wikipedia is fairly accurate. I saw this as a teachable moment to remind them to always have more than one source of information for their research. Also to be able to discern the differences in the websites. The example I used was which is more trustworthy the national energy council of canada or wikipedia. The kids all said the nation energy council which would be correct. Wikipedia is a good place to start your research but as the saying goes you never put all your eggs in one basket.
Tomorrow we have our spelling test
The math exam has been postponed until Thursday. We have several kids going to the city track meet and I could use the extra day to ensure they have the material down pat.
