Mrs. Stimmel’s first graders took their learning to the streets (well, the sidewalk!). We traded our pencils for chalk and took advantage of this gorgeous weather to master our addition and subtraction facts.

There’s nothing like a little fresh air and bright colors to make math feel like a breeze! 🖍️✨
Check out our little mathematicians in action below! 👇📸
