All about Mr. Dubina 

My name is Mr. Dubina and I’m very excited to have you in my classroom! This will be my seventh year in teaching and my second year in Coloma.

It won’t take much time to see I love what I do. I bring a positive attitude and energy to the classroom each day.  My classroom should serve as a safe space for students to learn and grow. My goal is to foster students' learning, while also addressing their different needs.

Expectations

I never expect a student to have a perfect day, however, each student should feel comfortable and confident at school. In my classroom, students should be prepared to give effort and show respect each day. I have listed some basic expectations that I hope for students in my classroom to work towards;

1. Work hard

• I will give effort

1. Listen

• I will listen when people are speaking
• I will use appropriate language in the school building 

1. Be Nice

• I will respect other people
• I will act with kindness

1. Have fun

• I will bring a great attitude to school each day
• I will find something that makes me happy each day
