Meet the Teacher
Hello My name is Ms. Ubelaker. I grew up in Osborne, KS. I have one sister. I also have two wonderful nephews. Her family lives in Russell.
I went to school at FHSU and graduated in 2008. I then moved to Hoisington and have taught 3rd grade ever since. This past year I earned my Master's in Administration from FHSU.
I love teaching, being outside, spending time with my family and remodeling my house.
I am so excited to start the year with all of you and watch you grow. Learning is so much fun and I can't wait to share that with you.

Behavior Management
We use the Give'em Five Discipline System in our district. There are five key elements to the process. Students will have an explanation of the teacher's expectation, the benefits of doing it that way, and a possible consequence if behavior continues.

Homework
Homework is very important because it teaches your student self-discipline, self-direction, and cultivates good study habits. Your child may not have homework everyday, but will be asked to complete some from time to time. Homework is expected to be finished that night and turned in the next day unless otherwise stated. The first day it is late they lose 10%. The second day it becomes a zero. Responsibility is key to their success in the coming years and this will help to teach them that
