Our elementary will be piloting the House System in the 2021-2022 school year. The House System is a social/emotional program developed by the Ron Clark Academy. The purpose of the house system is to bring our students together across grade levels. Our goal with this system is to foster camaraderie, collaboration, and leadership among our students. We want each student to gain a sense of belonging at Fairview Elementary. Each house has a name and color that symbolizes positive characteristics and qualities we want to instill in our students.
With COVID still being a barrier, our school will have to implement the House System with social distancing protocols in place. This means lots of virtual meetings, creating videos that encourage students to engage with house members as well as learn character traits that better impact our school community. One way to do this is by creating videos, as well as, displaying our house points for our students to see daily on school News Flash. Unfortunately, my current MacBook is living on a prayer (cue the Bon Jovi). Our outdated-school laptops do not have the capacity to execute this task. With these challenges, I feel like our house system could come to a standstill.
With this new MacBook, I could easily create and edit videos for our House System as well as help other teachers with tasks of this nature. Doing this will allow me to provide our students with the best opportunity to engage and learn our new ways of social/emotional learning.
Thank you in advance!
