Baseball!

Yesterday, Greg and I decided to get our classes together and play a game of baseball. We have both been focussing on baseball in Phys. Ed., and we thought it would be fun for the classes to play one another. Last year, the grade 8's (then grade 7's) proudly beat the grade 8's (now grade 9's). When we played against each other 2 weeks ago the grade 8's were sure they would beat the grade 9's. Unfortunately, they lost and the grade 9's came out victorious. Due to this bad loss the grade 8's wanted a chance to redeem themselves.
So we tried again. The game started off great and the grade 8's were beating the grade 9's and then all of a sudden the game turned around. The grade 9's began to win. Sadly, the grade 9's came out on top again and won an embarrassing score of 40-20. We had a great game though and the students love playing together. Below are a few pictures of our afternoon! This is Keesha (grade 9), when Greg began the baseball unit with the grade 9's she couldn't hit the ball and now she hits great. The first time she made contact with the ball, she did so well that the ball came back and hit the pitcher!
