DO STORYTELLING ON THE GO

Take turns adding to a story the two of you make up while riding in a car or bus. Either one of you could start. Try making the story funny or spooky. This will stretch the imagination and foster a love for stories. It’s fun, too! Go the extra mile and record them as an auditory file to save for the future or jot them down in a book.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8th – VOTING DAY

Kincaid teachers and staff members are a big part of our school community and we want to let them know how thankful we are for them. Help us shower them with yummy goodies ahead of the holidays. Sign up and show off your baking skills (or buy from a local store) and bring either sweet, salty, healthy, nut free or gluten-free treats for our school staff to enjoy on November 16.
