Brian Hueber is both a third grade teacher and a dyed-in-the-wool Phillies fan.  Team jerseys were de rigueur this fall in his classroom and, not surprisingly, America’s pastime made its way into his and assistant teacher Hal Morra's lesson plans.  “Teamwork is a constant in our class,” says Hueber, “So it was easy to incorporate baseball into the curriculum.  We played math baseball, with the class split into two teams:  the Frogs and the Amphibians.  Students rolled dice to determine if it was a hit or an out. We also played a class wiffle ball game on the roof.”
