🌱📚 Did You Know?
The Eastlawn Literacy Garden 💙💛
At Eastlawn Global Elementary, learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door,it blooms in our Literacy Garden! 🌿
Our 3rd–5th grade Panthers are digging into literacy and life lessons as they connect reading, writing, and science through hands-on gardening experiences. With the help of our dedicated staff and volunteers from Elon University, students explore NC
Literacy and Science Standards through real-world learning:
📖 RL.3–5.1–10 – Determining themes, key details, and main ideas through garden stories and reflections.
🪴 W.3–5.2–7 – Writing informative texts and procedural steps while documenting plant growth and environmental change.
🌎 Science Standards 3.L.2–5.L.2 – Understanding ecosystems, plant life cycles, and the impact of environmental care.
This living classroom allows Panthers to enhance comprehension, vocabulary, and writing fluency—while developing teamwork, responsibility, and global citizenship. 🌍✨
We’re so proud of our students, staff, and Elon University volunteers for creating a space where literacy grows right alongside the plants! 💚
