Qq and Uu Get Married!

You never see Q without a U...in a word.
You never see Q without a U... in a word.
QU, QU, QU says "kwuh"!

We have had QUite an exciting week in anticipation of the WEDDING of Qq and Uu!  We learned this week that "You never see Q without a U in a word!"  Today we had a wedding to unite the two letters that will stay together forever in LETTER LAND!!  It was UN-QUESTIONABLE fun!
The Qq girls are ready!
The Uu boys are waiting!

Pre-wedding jitters.

The ceremony begins........


Then it was time for the reception with "quackers", cookies and juice.............

and then many agreed that  dancing was the favorite part of the day!

We will never forget the day Qq and Uu got married and we will never forget "you never see Qq without a Uu in a word"!!

Happy letters, happy friends, happy times!

Frog and Toad Field Trip!

  (We loved singing the amphibian song this week!)

We have had a great week learning about frogs, toads and other amphibians.  We ended our great week with a field trip to the Scottish Rite Theater in Austin to see a live performance of  "Frog and Toad".  It was fun to see the stories that we read in class come alive on stage.  After the play we had a picnic and playtime at the park.  It was a TOAD-ally awesome day.
                                                                 Frog was funny.
 Toad was even funnier!

We had a great time at the park!

Thanks to all who helped make our day a success!
