Digital Learning Day Procedures for Ms. Hamilton’s Language Arts Class

We will use our Canvas course page as our “home base” for our digital learning days.  Please go to the “announcement” section each day for our class as your starting point.  I will give you very detailed instructions with everything you need to know to do your work for the day.

If you need to email me, my email is buffy.hamilton@hallco.org

Take Home Today

• Your course binder for me with all your notes, handouts, and resources.  If you have been keeping everything organized daily as I’ve asked you to do and helped you to do in class, then it will be easy for you to find what you need at home.
• Your library book/choice book.
