On the first day of school your children will have the choice of picking what house they want to be sorted into.
Yes, the sorting hat will be used. The hat will be placed over their head and I will announce “what the sorting hat is thinking”
I will explain to them the houses in this way.
Gryffindor= Being Brave and having Determination
Hufflepuff= Being a Friend to all and hard working
Ravenclaw= Being Wise and Intelligent
Slytherin= Being Ambitious and A Strong Leader
Just as in the books and in the movies they will earn points for their house for good choices and lose points for sad choices. At the end of the year the house with the most points will be awarded the House Cup.
Please let them know that they can have all the traits. Just the one they pick is what they want to be know by, and work on the most.
