“It’s only when you know something about a profession that you’re timid, you’re careful.” What a great message for educators. Let’s approach our work with an empty mind, with creativity, willing to explore new ideas and dream for that which seems impossible.
1960, Orson Welles explained how he wrangled complete creative control for his first film, Citizen Kane, as well as the value of “ignorance” to break through old ideas.

Over 20 years ago I started teaching 4th grade and had zero classroom management. The only thing that ever worked was pulling out my guitar and writing lessons into songs. So blessed to visit 4th grade today as superintendent to dust off the same songs! So fun! @HamptonHawks29
What a great way to start the day! This student did a writing assignment that described how to make the perfect omelet. He then got to test it out! Dr. Klipsch is always happy to be a taste tester:)
Today Hampton School lost all power, internet, phones, and intercom for three hours in the middle of the day! When life turns the power off, we turn on flashlights and keep learning! Go Hawks!
