WELCOME

It is exciting to be back for another year here at Landon.  I look forward to all of the new faces that I will see in addition to the familiar faces.  I will be using this blog as a home learning blog to communicate any home learning assignments.  Occasionally there will be an announcement, but it will mostly be used for home learning.  If you ever have any questions about anything, please do not hesitate to contact me.  Take care.
