Welcome to Hogwarts Distance Education, I hope you enjoy seeing our fun as much as I have had in the planning of it. Setting up my schoolroom has always been a big fun deal to me. I do rea;lize that the children are getting older, themes are kind of wasting away for them but I wanted just one more. Just one more big thing before they are just too old to really have fun with it anymore.

The idea started with a few posters and a yahoo group. Then of course we had to have a Honeydukes and before you knew it the kids had thrown around ideas, I saw Harry Potter parties online and this little idea has taken on a life of its own. Because like me my children have to go all out so to speak!

Magic Fun!!

          We picked a fun movie this week. I mean if it has Nicholas Cage it has to be great, right? She loves her Magic school day! Shame on me for forgetting butterscotch sauce and we couldn't make any butterbeer ice cream! She was pretty forgiving though once she found out she was playing with fire for potions though!






       This week we made Zombie Fire!

Our Magical Week




 Magic school day is here!! This is her favorite day of the week I believe.  It was a pretty full day with Cauldron Cooking, Potions, book work, reading and a magical movie! This is the first time using The Wizards Workshop book and I am hoping she can do whatever she chooses pretty much on her own.  The art work in the book is pretty cutesy too. It is divided into three chapters, basic potions for beginners,  advanced wizard potions and hair raising potions for daring wizards. Now this is a cute book I saw it and fell in love right away. It wasn't the kids just mixing random stuff it was actual experiments with reactions but worded in a magical way so it was win win for me! It also came with a handy ingredient list and a set of down loadable labels to make the bottles for everything, which I did of course! Now the first down fall was the whole common ingredients it says that it uses. NO, most of these are not common things people have around their house I had to order a big majority of these chemicals off line. 
       The second down fall was picking potions and realizing we didn't have some of the stuff readily available at home even though I already got everything on the list. That was kind of frustrating. Granted I could have read through the book beforehand but when a book advertises that the list is everything you need I pretty much expect that to follow through. We finally decided on a potion that we had everything needed for and got to work!
