Baseball Day!

EJ's preschool highly encourages parent involvment.  What better way for us to be involved than to bring baseball to preschool!  Eric brought five players to come and teach the kids how to hit and throw baseballs and occasionally get tackled.

Eric and the players came to the classroom and introduced themselves.

Here's the tackle--EJ was the initiator--of course!

Here are the small group stations.  Each player had five kids at each station.

Here's EJ's group at the batting station.

Eric and EJ addressed the class so they knew what they would be doing.  EJ was so proud to have his daddy at school.

Here are EJ's best friends.  Getting this picture took some work!

The kids liked the "catcher" I brought.

EJ's teacher, Mr. Matty, plays his guitar and sings just about every day.  Today he taught the kids how to sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."

High fives at the end of the day!  The kids had a great time!
