Moon And Moth Magic Co.

      So I was really bored one night and as usual I searched out some ideas for Magic School and low and behold I found something amazing!! This cool little company that makes potions! Moon and Moth Magic Co. is MAGICAL! Skyler had no idea this was on its way so BIG surprise to her and she loved it! I was astounded from the moment the box opened!

      Look at that cool packaging! I was honestly planning on repacking this in some brown paper with twine and slapping on a Diagon Alley label, but this was beyond beautiful in my opinion!

      
      She opened the box and said, "oh a big butterfly book" LOL! I told her in the magic world things are not always as they seem. When she started to pull it out she realized right off this was NO ordinary book at all. 

Week 5 Magic Fun!!

      I was gonna skip doing book week posts because there isn't much interesting about watching a kid read LOL! We have been pretty bad on Magic School scheduling and I am hoping that the New Year makes me get it in gear and do this stuff cause she really enjoys it and honestly I do too! I love that at 13 she still has that twinkle about her! 

      She is reading through Dragonolgy for Magical Creatures and really enjoying herself with it. 

Week 4 Magic Fun

       
      So we had another project week! These seem to be her favorite weeks of course. We just had to split all the books she is wanting to read and all the activities she is wanting to do because too much in one day was too overwhelming! Alternating the weeks seem to be much, much better! So we started off with potions this week and it was all about mystical sand!
       

Week 2 Magic Fun!

       I was called "best mom ever" and "coolest mom in the world" several times after today! Apparently, not many moms teach their child fire based potions in the house or make butter beer fudge! This was project week and we had a blast to be truthful I loved every minute of it! The potion we did today was burning basilisk skin and it was awesome! I knew it would be wonderful so after she finished all her mixing I decided to video the outcome. 

Week 1 Magic School

     Between a hurricane, sick kids and outside commitments Magic School has been hit or miss. We never even technically finished our week one from when we started it! So, this was the week we finished it and did the book work. This was not a terribly fun week apparently according to my little Skyler witch! 

  This is her journal of all she will do for Magic School. She likes having everything all together in one spot so this is what I came up with! She will read her books and watch a movie if I can find something fitting. 

She also still enjoys using her quill pens.  

Week 1 2017 2018 Magic Fun

     To kick off our first back to Magic School day, we watched the best movie ever, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them! Skyler absolutely adored it she said it was even cooler than Harry Potter movies! It must have something to do with the fact that it was all about the animals of course! Today was all about the Magical Creatures as far as Skyler was concerned. 

     For Cauldron Cooking she brewed up a cool pixie punch smoothie! (blueberry smoothie for ya muggles).

     She drank from her super cool hand painted Herbology glasses too! 

     

What We Are Doing For The First Semester

     I am so excited to start Magic school up again this year! Last year we had started mid-year and it was more of a on the fly plan but this year I had time to plan a whole semester!!! Our classes this semester are Quidditch, Arithmancy, Potions, Care Of Magical Creatures and of course Cauldron Cooking! We will still be sticking with our every other week schedule. One week is more reading our books and doing our written work the next week is when we do the fun stuff!

     Since in our Muggle school we use The Thinking Tree Journals I really wanted to have something similar for her classes with Magic School. So I searched online and came up with some stuff I tossed together to make her a journal. All of the planner pages were found online and are on our Hogwarts Style Home School Pinterest Page. I put it all in a binder with a page on front she can color if she so chooses too. The binder is also better than having it all bound that way I can add things I may find or make later.
