Do you recognize these landmarks? 🏖️🗼 After studying seven lighthouses along North Carolina's coast, the talented 4th graders at Elon Elementary, guided by Instructional Assistant Cindy House, went all out with their research, picked their favorite lighthouse, and brought it to life through their creative models. Each one was unique and impressive! 🌟 The students even presented their projects to the class, giving insightful talks about their chosen lighthouses. Excellent work! #StudentCenteredFutureFocused
