This week we celebrated Fall Festival Harry Potter style! Our students were introduced to a magical curriculum which included a Transfiguration class in which we turned an ordinary ball into a magical snitch, a Care of Magical Creatures class where we created our very own owls for carrying messages, a lesson in Charms where we created our own wands and then learned various spells and corresponding wand movements, and finally a Potions lesson where we used a number of "magical" ingredients and a special incantation using our new wands to turn ordinary stones into fabulous crystals. Some students even managed to make a Sorcerer's Stone!
We also got to watch the little "first years" in their parade of costumes and attended a "History of Magic" Cultural Arts presentation on the origins of Hip Hop. In the wise words of wizard and Headmaster of Hogwarts Albus Dumbledore, "Music [is] a magic beyond all we do here."
At the conclusion of our day, all kids also received a packet of Harry Potter games and a "Sorting Hat" (origami fortune teller) as well as a gift bag with a few fun surprises. Enjoy the pictures below of our Magic Moments!
