Who knew?! I certainly didn't! For the past month, Josh and his partner Tyler have been working on their debate platform. I just thought it was another school assignment, but apparently it was a 6th grade-wide program. Their topic was air quality and they were assigned to argue on the "negative" side. ( I never did debate so sorry if him not using the right lingo)Today was the big debate. Josh casually told me he had to take a shirt and tie to school and asked me to pick him up at 5:30. When I pulled up to the school there were tons of parents waiting to pick up kids...like I said, I didn't realize so many were involved. When Josh finally came out, he was grinning from ear to ear. As soon as he got in the car he said, "Mom, I can't believe we got first place for the "negs!" He also got another award (the name of which escapes me). He was so excited...great work, Josh! :)
