As a whole group class, we will look at the union between the letters Q and U.  We will read a story about how the letters met and now live happily ever after.  Students will learn that when there is a Q, there must be a U right next to it. We will also review the long A sound found in our story text. To review our phonics skills, we will draw (on whiteboards or paper) and discuss qu- words. By the end of class, students will have a working knowledge of the relationship between Q and U.
