Subject: What is the difference between 'dew point' and 'wet-bulb temperature'?

My eighth grade classes study weather and we use a psychrometer to 
measure wet-bulb temperature as well as dry-bulb temperature.  In the 
early fall when it is warm, our wet-bulb temperature usually matches 
fairly closely the dew point as reported at a local National Weather 
Service Automated Weather Reporting Site, but now - October in 
Minnesota - the reported dew point is usually significantly below the 
wet-bulb temperature no matter how long we whirl the psychrometer.  For 
instance, this morning - Oct 5 - the dew point reported is 32 and our 
wet-bulb is 52.  Is our technique faulty or should these be two 
different numbers?
