Dear Parents,

 Arrowhead Elementary is continuing the tradition of holding a basket auction during the upcoming Saturday Live event (Sept. 26^th). All the money raised stays right here at Arrowhead. Each classroom will be contributing a basket as a group, however your family or neighborhood is encouraged to support our school by donating a basket as well. Be creative and have fun!

 Ms. Bakken’s Fourth Grade Class voted on a theme for our class basket. We had a tie for a Halloween basket and a Hunting/Fishing basket. The students would like to make two baskets. I am sure they will both be very fun and creative baskets that will raise a lot of money.

   Have a great weekend,

   Ms. Bakken

Welcome Letter

WELCOME TO FOURTH GRADE!!!!

Dear Parents and Fourth Graders,

Hello! Hope you had a great summer. I am very excited to start the new school year with you.This year is my 13th year of teaching in the Billings area. I consider it a privilege to be at Arrowhead and will do my very best. The fourth grade teachers and I have been busy planning fun and educational activities for our students.

COMMUNICATION - Communication is the key to success in so many places, this is especially true in education. Feel free to write me a note or call me at the school if you have any questions or concerns throughout the school year. (281-6201) School information (upcoming events, school pictures etc.) will be sent home in the Tuesday folder. Class work from the previous week will be included as well, please review it together so that there are no surprises at midterm or report card times.

ASSIGNMENT NOTEBOOKS - Fourth graders will be required to use an assignment notebook. They can be purchased at the school for $4.50. Fourth grade is an excellent year to begin organizational skills along with responsibility for one’s work.

CLASS RULES -The students & I will decide on specific rules the first day of school. My broad expectations are:

Raise your hand

Listen carefully & follow directions

Respect others & their space/property

Do your best
