Miss Wolfe’s third-grade class has stepped up to the plate this spring—bringing baseball into the classroom! Students drafted MLB teams, used geography skills to locate ballparks across the United States, and incorporated baseball-themed word problems into their daily math lessons. They will continue tracking their teams’ wins and losses throughout the school year to solve a variety of math problems.

The students have already begun receiving responses. Ian Stinner opened a letter from the Cleveland Guardians, and Jackson McKinney received a letter from the Los Angeles Angels.

We’re hopeful that a few more teams step up to the plate and send mail before the end of the year. Thank you to both organizations for making learning unforgettable for our students!
