Welcome to our magical messenger class! Students will visit the Owlery and create their own wash cloth owls, along with a secret invisible message for their owl to carry to their wizard friends! The students will discuss what influenced the author of the series to choose an owl, why owls are associated with wisdom and the role of the magical owls in the Harry Potter series. This is a fast paced, interactive and fun class where students will combine imagination, chemistry and magic to create their own messenger owl and secret invisible message. Students will use a magic spell (follow simple directions) to create their personal (washcloth) messenger owl in the Owlery. They will name their owls and share their owls with their classmates. Students will create their own magical ink (invisible ink) to write a message for their owl to deliver and use magic (reaction chemistry) to share their message with their wizard classmates.
Learning Goals
Student will learn basic chemistry vocabulary and understand the scientific principle behind invisible ink

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi Friends!
Welcome to my classes! I look forward to working with your child in an educational, multi-sensory, interactive and fun environment.
In addition to my educational experiences and training, as a mother of two daughters and a son, and a grandmother of a twelve year old grandson and eight year old granddaughter, I know how important the classroom experience is for every child. Using the best practices in learning and years of teaching experience I create classes so every child can be successful!
One of my favorite mantras is from George Evans, "Every child can learn. Just not in the same day or in the same way."(having three very unique children taught me that quickly). That's why my teaching style is not as important as your child's learning style. All of my classes use this philosophy to blend multi-sensory activities with a student centered learning experience unique and specific to students individual needs.
Learning is an adventure, that should be educational, fun and memorable. I will be the tour guide, pointing out interesting facts and information to guide and structure our journey but your child is the tourist who will visit new things, maybe revisit old places to be reminded of what they already knew about those places and things, have fun with other tourists they meet with similar interests, create new memories and souveniers based on the information they have seen and gathered, and discuss all the knowledge and skills they will find along the path.
