Welcome to Mrs. Landon's Class!
This is the landing spot for everything there is to know about Mrs. Landon's classes! Join us for Focus, Advanced Language Arts, reading, writing, and grammar! Stop by any time to see what we're doing. Feel free to look around and send me any suggestions for links, navigational issues, etc.
I look forward to a great year with your student and you!
Important things to know about Language Arts:
*It is much harder to see success in Language Arts. In Math, there is a “right” answer, but in Language Arts, there is always room for discussion. At this age, students see discussion as a sign that what they have done is not correct, when in reality, it means that their work is worthy of more discussion.
*Spelling and grammar are the cornerstones of good writing.
*Reading takes many forms—one must know how to read for pleasure, for content, for purpose and for analysis.
*Writing and reading go hand-in-hand. One cannot be an excellent reader without understanding excellent writing. One cannot be an excellent writer without reading excellent writing.
