peacock feather quill

Gracyn had the superb idea to make her loooong peacock feather into a quill for her harry potter writing assignments.  You'll have to click on the pic to make it bigger.  Very clever.

Kaegan presents his US Lapbook to his dad!

wizard, Gracyn

We got a harry potter game for the wii!!

Wheeeee!

It has been so much fun...the kids could hardly stop playing it to eat and sleep!

I also ordered some calligraphy pens to use as quills and Gracyn has been using her loooong peacock feather as a quill.  The calligraphy pens make cursive practice fun.  

We finished our comic book pages, but I can't get blogger to post it.  It turned out great.  I kept having to remind the kids that it was a Latin assignment....use some latin words!  haha!  They had fun with it.  We are also still working on our creative writing assignment of making a Monster Book of Monsters.  Gracyn wrote the chapter of the Boggart in the Closet as a play and we will soon be acting that out for you!  Lots going on!  And super fun!
