Kindergarten students learned a lesson in phonics when they participated in a wedding ceremony to join the letter Q and the letter U. The boys dressed as quarterbacks while the girls dressed as queens. A reception followed the ceremony during which the students dined on cupcakes and grapes.

The Wedding of Q & U
On Monday, December 3, kindergartners gathered in a make-shift chapel in the Kelly Center for the wedding of the
letters Q and U, officiated by Minister Quentin
(A.K.A.
Director of Religious Studies, Character, and Service John
Grega). Teachers planned the wedding to teach students the
sound of the letter Q and the fact that Q needs U to make
words like quake, queen, quartz, quick, etc.
The "Wedding March" played in the background and students
(girls as queens and boys as quarterbacks)
walked down the
aisle dropping quarters instead of flowers. Once
everyone
was seated, the bride and groom were escorted down the aisle
in a wagon that was decorated for the occasion. During the
ceremony, Minister Quentin read “The Wedding of Q and U" by
Maureen Keegan. Following the nuptials, the students enjoyed
a wedding reception, complete with cupcakes, juice, and
grapes.
After this creative learning experience, the youngsters
are sure to remember that when the letter Q appears in a word, it is almost always followed by the letter U!
