Research Recital

Mark and Dax's elementary school hosts a "research recital" every year. They both like to participate and this year they decided to do their research together. They settled on the topic of the Amazon River.

Mom really enjoyed watching them work together. Dax researched a bunch of facts at school and brought them home. Mark also did a little research, and then they worked together to create a Power Point presentation. Mom helped them find some images. They divided up the speaking parts and were all set.
Dax presented the first part of the presentation.
On the day of the Research presentation, they were amazing. Dax presented the first part of the Power Point and he remembered everything he needed to say. Mark went second and looked like a natural up there. Afterward, there are some reviewers who ask them questions. One was our principal, and another was the Lehi City mayor. They both commented on how the boys were natural presenters and how well they'd done. We were so proud of them!

and all the research presenters in our group.
The last part of the Research Recital is a recognition night where everyone receives a medal and a treat. We were glad to see Mark and Dax enjoy working together so well.

Dax might have watched the Olympics for too long! 
We are so proud of both Mark and Dax, and how hard they work at school.
There were about 160 kids who participated which was a lot of medals! 
S'mores donuts at the end make all the work feel worthwhile!
