I had a terrible, wonderful idea on Sunday. I was looking through my knitting books, and looking through the HP knitting book, I was all "Oh! Gillian will be eleven in August! I could knit her many things in House colors!" This rapidly morphed into "We could do a Hogwarts-themed school year next year!" and by the time I had recovered from my sheer brilliance, I discovered I had, in my delirium, posted my idea to facebook, where
raving_liberal confirmed I was not the only mother of a ten year old to nurse such wild ideas about the upcoming school year.
Well. So I posted about the academics of it on my public homeschool blog:
Welcome to Hogwarts, and even got an offer from a herbalist for materials for Herbology. Score! And, really, I can find ways to make academics fit into just about any framework.
But the magic of it...
So, if you were going to have a Hogwarts-themed homeschool year, what would you want to be included?
