'Together, We Can Make a Difference.' Sept. 27, 2019
Principal's Point
When and not if. This week, Hawthorne staff and students did a great job staying focused and working hard with Fall Break just around the corner. In one of our hard working conversations, teachers challenged each other to think “when” and not “if.” Their thinking lie in the fact that teachers have done so many great things with students, that any current challenge will be improved! So the message is “when” the student learns all of his letter and “when” the class gets main idea and detail, because they will get it! I saw first-hand the power of great teaching when I witnessed a student overcome a social challenge using the skills learned in class. The best part: the student’s breakthrough was celebrated but the student continued on as though this was always going to happen and it was no big deal. These examples are proof that we as adults can foster the “when” attitude in our students and they will greatly benefit from knowing that their efforts will pay off. Enjoy this wonderful weather!
