BrookLynn had the assignment tonight to use the dictionary to look up her spelling words to find out what they meant. She was excited to learn to use the dictionary. I thought she was getting the hang of it. She came to word 'zip.' She couldn't find it. I tried to tell her again how to look it up. Again she said she couldn't find it.
I took the book to prove to her it was in there. What dictionary didn't have the word 'zip?' She was right! It wasn't there! What kind of broken dictionary doesn't have the small word 'zip?'
We went and got another dictionary. That one wasn't broken. I felt bad that I didn't believe her. I'm glad to know that we shouldn't use that dictionary anymore. It made a liar out of me...
