Coach Byrd Visits Mrs. Chapman's ELA Classes

Cheraw High School athletic director and head baseball coach, David Byrd, visited with Mrs. Chapman's ELA classes at Long Middle School last week. Mrs. Chapman's class is studying making inferences, and their unit topic is baseball. Students have been using articles, read alouds, and songs to build their knowledge about the history and impact of baseball in American culture. During his presentation, Coach Byrd shared his personal experiences in baseball over the years with the students. He also spoke about the role it has played in bringing people together in our town as well as our country over the years. Students participated in a question-and-answer session at the end of the presentation and had a chance to learn more facts about baseball to increase their understanding for their instructional unit. Mrs. Chapman and her students would like to thank Coach Byrd again for sharing his time and experiences with us.
