Wizard School

Tonight Shayna and Skyler had the opportunity to attend Wizard School at the Boca Library. When they arrived, they were given a bag and divided into 6 groups to rotate between classes. Each class was 10 minutes. At the end of each time period a bell rang.

First class was CHARMS. Here they got to make a magical charm and could choose what power it would have:


Second class was CARE OF MAGICAL CREATURES. They learned about dragons and made a dragon egg withg a gold coin inside.

Third class was DIVINATION. They made fortune tellers, the kind where its a folded piece of paper and you choose a color, then number, then reveal the fortune underneath.

Fourth class was HERBOLOGY. They combined the 2 magical seeds:

and planted them in these cups:

Fifth class was ARITHMANCY. There was a worksheet here to calculate what the letters in your name told about your personality, kind of like a horoscope. The scroll you got after getting the final number was attached to a pencil.

The sixth and last class was POTIONS:

Afterwards, we picked up some summer reading titles: The Bridge to Terabithia and another Carl Hiaassen book, Nature Girl (we have another one to read called Flushed- all his books take place in Florida and are nature related). This will be after the 7th Harry Potter book is finished, which won't take very long.
