The Hogwart's Supplies Have Arrived!!

I finally had time to finalize Hogwart's Correspondence School. I've been waiting to use it until I felt we were well into a routine and they could handle the additional workload I was already giving them, plus this.

They all received their acceptance letters (finally!) and filled out a questionnaire to determine what house and what courses they would like to take. They all got into Ravenclaw since it is after all a house of 'wit and learning.'












Supplies include:

Magic Science Kit - this is worth it just for the reusable test tubes, lol. They can make a wand, and several potions. This will go nicely with the potions class with Severus Snape. He required they keep a potion log with the name, ingredients, reactions, others comments. He also gave us a book of potions we can do at home.

I have the Diagon Alley Shopping Cards I made. They tore right into those and bought a few things using play money. Connor added a few items together, while McKenna just practiced paying for one item at a time.

Hagrid left us the Spiderwick Chronicles set, complete with the Field Guide, Care and Feeding of Sprites and the Handbook that has a bunch of great questions to put into their Care of Magical Creatures Notebook.

I've received owl mail that he's also sending us Sassafras Zoology books for Muggle-related study of animals. He heard my son has recently become obsessed with Wild Kratts and thought this might be a good fit.

My son was really excited to be able to play "Wizards Chess." The game No Stress Chess  has 4 levels of play. The first level you draw cards to teach how all the pieces move, the next you draw a few cards and get to choose which card you wish you use, and the last level that uses cards, you draw five cards at a time and choose one move. The final level, is of course, regular chess.
