This year the sky is the limit

Meet Your Teacher Mrs. Dugan when she was eight years old. Mrs. Dugan and her dog Mini. I love to cook, read, watch movies and travel. My favorite subjects in school were reading and writing. I am from Florida and have lived in Oregon. I can say the alphabet backwards. I want to learn to speak Spanish. I am so happy to be your teacher this year!

Hand signal Procedures Hand signals to use when you need something 1 finger to “get up” 2 fingers to “speak” 3 fingers for “help” Let’s PRACTICE When I need your attention I will raise my hand. Stop what you are doing, raise your hand, and make eye contact with me to show that you are ready to listen. I will count down my fingers from five to zero. You need to be raising your hand and looking at me before I am at zero. Let’s PRACTICE

Restroom Procedures Raise one finger to get up to use the restroom. Wait for the teacher’s permission to go to the restroom. Before leaving the classroom to use the restroom sign out on the sheet by the door and take a hall pass. If all hall passes are in use you must return to your desk and wait for one to return before you can go. Use the restroom on “A” hall and come back to the classroom as soon as possible, being sure to leave the restroom clean, wash your hands and quietly walk through the halls.

Classroom Rewards Group Goal Chart You will earn a sticker for every day that your clip is on “Great,” or higher. Once the class reaches their goal there will be a special class reward. The faster you meet your goals the more special rewards we will get. If you have stickers for every school day of the month you’ll get to choose and additional prize. For every day that you turn in ALL of your homework completed you will get a ticket to put in for a prize raffle. The more homework you turn in the more tickets you’ll get and the better your chances of winning a prize. If you don’t complete your homework at home you will need to take it to the cafeteria and complete it there.
