Basketball Bio

Time for another Dallin school project. This time, a biography on someone who has left their mark on history. What subject do you think Dallin looked up? Basketball? How'd you know?

At first Dallin chose Steve Nash, but it was a little difficult to bring his information together. I suggested Michael Jordan. After reading a lot about him, Dallin was sold. He had to research, write a biography, memorize it to recite to his classmates and make a poster for the presentation.

Here's his cool poster:
Dallin was only 1 of 3 kids in his class who memorized the report (we both could have saved a lot of sleep the night before if we knew the memorization part was optional). It was impressive, however to see how much information he had retained.

Spencer, Claire and I went to his class to watch him present and he did a fantastic job. I wanted to get a video of it, but Spencer had monopolized my phone and wouldn't give it back. It was either a video of Dallin mouthing words with a screaming brother in the background, or a mom's story of how great he really did. Trust me that my story is way more tolerable than the Spencer screams that would have been raging.

Nicely done Dallin! Way to 'just do it'.
