Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year!!! I'm the AVID and Art teacher at HMS. I'm happily married with 6 children between my husband and I. Family is the most important part of my life and I love spending time with them whenever I can. I have 5 beautiful grandchildren who range from 12 years old to 4 months old (I love watching movies with them or holding the youngest in my arms as I sing her a song). I earned an AA degree from Merced Community College in Early Childhood Education. I returned to college to earn a BA in Liberal Studies and a teaching credential from California State University of Stanislaus. I've been teaching for 17 years from preschool, Kindergarten, and presently Hoover Middle School. I taught Language Arts, Social Studies, and Art for my first two years at HMS. I really like working with middle school students, they can be quite entertaining at times and I like when they use the strategies for their work that they have learned in my class and other teachers' classes. In AVID and Art, my students will learn how to collaborate to solve problems or how to make an art project better. My main goal as a teacher is to help all my students be prepared for their future in high school, college, and their work & family. I look forward to meeting all my new and returning students this year, together we will grow either with distance learning or the classroom (the choice is up to us, I choose to grow either way!!!). See you all soon.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Hamlin
