Welcome to iHOUSE!
Welcome to a new and exciting year for you and your 5th grader! We are thrilled to be a part of your child’s life and look forward to the experiences we will have together. The following is an overview of some of the components of this school year. If you have questions or need clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Classroom Expectations Our house is using an acronym called CHAMPS to help students understand classroom procedures and know what is expected of them. Each letter stands for something to help students think about what they are doing at various points throughout a class so that they can be successful. C=Conversation (What voice volume should I be using?) H=Help (How do I get help?) A=Activity (What is the activity?) M=Movement (How can I move about the room?) P=Participation (What does it look like to participate?) S=Success (I will have success!) Minors & Majors When students are not following the expectations and that specific skill has been modeled and practiced, teachers and staff members will document the incident as either a minor or major in LiveSchool, depending upon the type of behavior demonstrated. The iHouse teachers will support students as they reflect on their behavior and work on making future decisions. Homework Students can generally expect to have homework nightly. Digital assignment notebooks will be utilized to help students be responsible and organized. Some homework assignments will be submitted to Schoology while others will be checked in class. Students need to be diligent about completing work and making sure it is “handed in.” Homework will be posted in Schoology daily for parents to access, as well. If students have incomplete work for the week, they will attend a mandatory recess on that Thursday. Behavior As described above, Lineville is keeping track of student behavior through LiveSchool. This app will include keeping track of student performance in the classroom, lunchroom, recess, and hallway. iHouse incentives will take place on Fridays. The incentive participation will be based on LiveSchool points, homework completion, and major/minors. |
