While the weather hasn't been great, students at Patterson Intermediate Learning Center recently held a 'book-nic' indoors and had a great time! This literacy-themed event encourages reading together while enjoying the great outdoors, albeit with a slight adjustment in moving this indoors this time. Students grabbed their favorite books, snacks, and a blanket and got nice and cozy.

Happy Paraprofessional Appreciation Day! Paraprofessionals play a vital role in supporting students individually, aiding those with diverse developmental and academic requirements, contributing to classroom dynamics, and beyond.

This event was not only about employment; it was a platform for our students to network, cultivate relationships, acquire new skills, and access resources for their future endeavors. #FutureReady #tecumsehpublicschools #jobfair #careerfair

A special guest visited Patterson Intermediate Learning Center virtually today. Tecumseh Public Schools alum Kristine McQuown, an author, entrepreneur, and speaker, read her book 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐲, 𝐍𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐨 to our third graders, teaching them about the incredible bond between humans and dogs. Our kiddos were so into it, listening attentively the whole time! Thanks, Kristine, for sparking imaginations and spreading the joy of reading!

Our Young 5s students at Tecumseh Acres Early Learning Center recently dove into a bubbly adventure as part of their Creative Curriculum Clothes Study! The question: how do we take care of our clothes? They experimented to find out which soap cleans best! After stories like Mrs. Wishy-Washy's Farm, they hypothesized: ten thought liquid soap, five thought bar soap. Using toy dinosaurs and brushes, they scrubbed away! Results? Liquid soap was a bubble explosion! Bar soap? A few bubbles, but spinning made more! Conclusion: Successful experiment, clean dinosaurs, and tons of bubbly science fun! #scienceisfun #BubblesExperiment 🧼

It goes without saying that a library/media center is usually a quiet place. It was no different when sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade students from Tecumseh Middle School were focused during a friendly math competition. This was part of the Michigan Mathematics League Competition. The MIML believes that engaging in math contests provides students with a valuable chance to be involved in an academically-focused endeavor and to receive acknowledgment for their accomplishments in mathematics. The mathematical questions encompass diverse complexities and address subjects of interest to students performing above average. In the competitions, every participating school is provided with a score report booklet that includes the names of the top 25 scoring students and schools in the League. Additionally, it features the names of the four highest-scoring students and schools on each level within every county contest region. #mathcompetition #tecumsehpublicschools #tecumsehmiddleschool #michiganmathematicsleaguecompetition
