Thursday: Stop, Think, Check, Ask

Rocket grabs a mission card. "The pretend helper says the photo lab opens at noon. Let's go!"

Raven catches his sleeve. "What do you notice? We have not checked the schedule."

Nova dims her lights. "Even I can be wrong in a story," she says. "So what should we do first?"

Four fact-check habits

Smart explorers use four habits when a tool tells them something.

Stop. Do not rush to believe it or share it.

Think. Does it make sense? Does it match what you know?

Check. Look at a trusted source, like a calendar, a book or a count.

Ask. Ask a grown-up you trust to help you.

Rocket checks the schedule

Raven and Rocket look at the paper schedule on the wall.

It says the photo lab opens at 2 o'clock, not noon.

The pretend helper sounded sure, but it was wrong. Checking saved a wasted trip.

Which habit did Raven use when she said to look at the schedule?
