HOUSE SYSTEM (IDL AND B&M)

Ms. Marking and I will be using a class house system for both of our classes (IDL and B&M). This includes a house sorting Google Meet, where students are placed into houses. Each house has a back story , students will be "sorted" into a house system randomly and they will work together to earn points for their individual houses.

Click HERE to see how students can earn and lose points.

Every month, whatever house is in the lead will spin a wheel and they will earn whatever the wheel lands on (extra house points, lunch bunch-even online, and other prizes) Every nine weeks, whatever house is in the lead will get a special surprise, and at the end of the year the house in the lead wins a class party. **(Innovative learning classes and Brick and Mortar class prizes will be different)

BRICK AND MORTAR DISCIPLINE POLICY

Positive reinforcement is how our class runs, and it does run well (you just all have great kids).


If infractions are given, I will put a colored dot sticker in their planner. Written on that dot will be the number they broke from the 25 Expectations list. The students planner will need to be signed by the parent when infractions are given and any questions you may have I will gladly answer. I have let everyone of them know that infractions are earned because we hold them accountable for their choices and actions. We love them and so we hold them accountable.

*Please sign your child's planner daily. The top 3 things 5th grade students get infractions for: not having homework completed (#21), not having their planner signed (#22), and not having a belt (#15).
