Target Field

Last Friday the fourth graders went on our third annual trip to Target Field.  We had a great time!  Our tour took us all over the the ballpark.  A few of the highlights include the Legends Club, the Champions Club, the press box, the visitor's dugout and the visitor's locker room.  

We also had a science lesson in the visitor's batting cage.  We learned about the composition of a baseball, how bats are made, what the "sweet spot" is on a bat, and about reaction time.  We also learned what happens to a ball and bat when a player gets a hit.  

We even had a chance to hit a few balls off a tee (something even Joe Mauer does) in the actual batting cage.  It was a highlight for many of the fourth graders!
