Take Us Out To The Ball Game!

Last Friday the third grade showed their love of all things baseball and the Orioles (the Red Sox were also represented), by having our Annual Baseball Day.  The kiddos donned their favorite baseball caps, threw on a jersey or t-shirt, laced up their sneakers and took the field!  It was quite an impressive showing, and my skills as a pitcher were certainly put to the test.  I think I need to work on my ERA as every batter got on base...and scored a run!  After our rousing game, we headed back to our room to partake in some much needed sustenance.  The players made short work of hot dogs, Cracker Jacks, chips, juice, and ice cream sandwiches.  We wrapped up the day with an amazing talk from Oriole great Tippy Martinez!  He shared with the grade his love of baseball, why it is important to always follow your dreams, and to try your best, and learned just what experts we are on the subject of our states. Thank you state reports!  The entire day, needless to say, was a ball!  

Here are some pictures, enjoy!

A Talk with Tippy!
We cannot hide our Orioles (and Red Sox) pride!
