Week of November 13 – 17, 2023
Hello Cougar Nation!
During this season of gratitude, I want to express my sincerest thanks to our families! The Kincaid community is extended family to all of us! Thank you for showing up, coming out, and trusting us with your most precious child. It was touching to see our students out with their family on Thursday at our Barnes & Noble Reading night, as well as our kindergarten and 5th grade families joining us for a special Thanksgiving lunch!
We wish you a week of making memories during this Thanksgiving season. Keep it simple. Enjoy your family.

PLAY FAVORITES
What is our family’s favorite flavor of ice-cream? What is our favorite movie to watch together? What is our favorite bedtime story? Choose a question, or make up your own, that your child is excited about.
First, have your child predict or guess the answer to the question. Help her write down her prediction. “I think chocolate is our family’s favorite flavor of ice cream.” Then, have your child ask each member of the family for an answer. Have your child record the answers using a special Science Notebook or simply mark tally marks on paper. Finally, ask your child to compare her prediction to the actual answers. Predicting is a beginning step to making inferences. Children must think about the reasons why someone will choose a favorite and must use current observations and understanding of others to make predictions. Have fun with having conversations with your child about his/her predictions.
