Welcome to English and Drama with Ms. Hamilton! I am a former Slater Spartan (like my dad and my siblings) and am so excited to start the year with you all. My daughter was born October 2017, just after the fires. Her name is Lily and we enjoy eating ALL THE FOOD, hiking, swimming and reading lots and lots...and lots of books. In my free time Lily and I really enjoy watercolor painting, reading crime fiction or YA novels, and evenings at the beach. We are so excited to get this year started and cannot wait to make this educational experience more dynamic and relevant for you and your students today!

Hamilton's Recommended Classroom Supplies:

Your brain and an open mind!!
A great attitude!
What is Ms. Hamilton reading?!
I am always, always, ALWAYS looking for good reads - novels, magazines, short stories, Tik Tok (which is new to me!!!). If you've got someone you love to read, follow, watch - send them my way! Below is a smattering of what I'm reading at the moment.
