[SUBMITTED PHOTO]Troutville Elementary kindergarten teachers Amanda Rowe and Marybeth Rush planned a fun celebration for their students that promotes their literacy instruction based on the science of reading. The kindergarten students participated in a “wedding” on November 1 where the letters Q and U were joined, as they are in the English language. The wedding party of Miss Q and Mr. U consisted of Scarlett Osborne, Lincoln Hutchinson, Audrey Lovell, and Margaret-Anne Hatcher. Their classmates and teachers joined together to witness the ceremony officiated by Principal Steven Anderson, opened “qu” gifts, and had a fancy reception complete with cake and juice. The teachers said these students are likely to remember this fun day for many years to come.
