6th grade visits Great American Ballpark
Sixth grade students from Little Miami Intermediate School recently had a chance to get a behind-the-scenes look at Great American Ballpark and insight into what it takes to run a professional sports team.
After touring the stadium, the home dugout and the press box, members of the Cincinnati Reds staff asked LMIS students to put together a theoretical winning ball club. Teams of students were given imaginary budgets, player salaries and statistics and then were asked to assemble the best team they could for the money. Using math and principles of economics, students collaborated in selecting players. They were then asked to hold a press conference, announcing their team's name and explaining their results.
Thank you to teacher Erin Dipzinski for the photos!
