We survived PAWS testing ~ even with a smile on our face!
Mrs. Guenther pulled an early April Fool's Day prank on her fifth grade
class by telling them they had one last test-the new PAWS social studies
assessment. Students came in the next morning to find snacks, sharpened
pencils and a big sign wishing them good luck. They fell for it "hook, line
and sinker" and were ready to "step up to the plate." So when Mrs. Guenther announced that she was just fooling them, several spoke up loudly to
say that it wasn't really that funny, but most were just really relieved! Once
again, thank you for your support in helping your child be ready each day
for PAWS testing.
McTeacher Night was a huge success!! We appreciate your support in
eating out at McDonald’s, especially when the parking lot was full and the
line was long. This school fundraiser earned us approximately $1,000 plus
over $130 in tips. The 10 teachers/staff from Baldwin Creek who
volunteered to help behind the scenes, or at the counter, deeply respect the
“real” McDonald’s employees. A big thanks to McDonald’s for supporting
our school and to our families!
Please continue to help your child complete their homework, read, and follow a nightly routine during these last nine weeks of school as valuable
learning needs to occur. Both fourth and fifth grade students have their
music concerts in April - - a great evening to bring the whole family for a
wonderful time of entertainment. Also, this time of year provides many
opportunities for outdoor learning such as field trips, so reminders will be
sent home when these special days are planned. We appreciate your support
and partnership in helping your child do their very best in school.
Happy Spring Break to all of you!
Sincerely in Education,
Leslie Voxland, Principal

From the Counselor’s desk:
March
March was all about HONESTY here at Baldwin Creek Elementary!
HONESTY: I will be honest and truthful in my thoughts and actions.
Guidance Lessons: The guidance lessons for March focused on teaching students about the
importance of honesty, especially academic honesty, as well as, different forms of deceit. Kids
participated in a “little white lie” lesson. This lesson began with a scoop of ice-cream; the
white lie was a bit of salt. Once we lied, we tried to hide it or cover it up with syrup. Sometimes we had to lie about our lies, adding more salt. In the end, we were left with that lie
despite efforts to cover it up. The school’s SRO also provided BCE students with important
information on internet safety and cyber-bullying.
