After a 1 Heart overcall, Partner will make a negative double with exactly four spades. So bidding 1 spade after a 1 Heart overcall promises 5+ spades.

Or you could just wake up to the 21st century and teach using a physical whiteboard, which would have made your logic a lot easier to see. I can tell you right now that I’ll never be able to see your logic until you start acting like a real teacher and use one.
