I am sure that many of you know that the letter q is always followed by the letter u. Some examples are, quilt, queen, quit, quite, quiet and so many more that we cannot mention them all here! For this reason, it only makes sense that our Kindergarten classes would throw them a wedding to be together forever in words everywhere! So this past Wednesday, before our Valentines Party, we had a wedding for these two special letters! We made flags and necklaces for us to be the remaining letters in the alphabet to support the two letter friends and then the ceremony started! Of course, no wedding is complete without singing and dancing to the Chicken Dance, having some wedding cake and punch, and giving a "quilt" to the new letter couple! What a perfect ceremony to hopefully always remind us when we hear the /q/ sound, we will always add the vowel u behind it! We had a wonderful day and we are quite certain that there were even a few tears of joy as the ceremony took place! Who said that learning to read can't be fun!?!?!?!
A BIG thanks to all of the parents that helped with our big day! Also a HUGE thanks to Mrs. Thomas (Intervention teacher~Q for AM ceremony), Mrs. Dines (Intervention Teacher~Q for PM ceremony) and Mr. Harris (6th grade Teacher~U for both ceremonies), Mrs. Knudson (Extended Teacher~Master of Ceremony) for helping us put the wedding and making it a success! Without all of you, the wedding would never have been the success that it was! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!
