Back to school....Hogwarts-style!

 Our new homeschool year started on Monday...at the library. Bug's dad wasn't feeling his best, so he stayed home from work. I decided that we'd give him some peace & quiet, so Bug & I had our first day of "school" at the library. It was fun.

We had root-beer floats after lunch today, then Bug headed to her room. As she entered, she was greeted by Hedwig who was holding a letter.

 It turned out to be a "Welcome to Herbology Class" letter. Bug was excited. :) Notice the Gryffindor banner on the window. She was so happy to see that hanging there on Monday.

You see, over the summer, Bug discovered Harry Potter. She'd been aware of him & the books for several years, but didn't want to read them. She's now read 1-4. I asked her if she'd like to incorporate some of that into our school work. She said "YES!". So...she's got herbology class. She'll also be researching and writing reports on various creatures and we'll have some fun with potions. I've got some other surprises in store for her, but you'll have to wait for those.
