Kids’ Opinions Matter-

To start off yesterday's meeting, Hannah gave an inspirational speech. She encourages us to set a goal and achieve it. Secondly Aidan was the joke master. He told some very interesting jokes such as when you combine an elephant and Darth Vader you get an elevator. Alex was the first speaker. He talked about the history of video games. He taught us that video games make you smarter. I learned a lot from that speech. The second speaker was Eddie. He is very good at solving rubik cubes. The evaluators, Alexis and Caleb, did a good job at evaluating the speakers' speeches. The next part was the table topic section. This time the table topic master was Michael. The theme was reach for the sky. I liked how Margaret said that Edison surmounted people's expectation.
