Summer School 2017 is Coming to an End!


Dear Families,

We have had an amazing three weeks of summer school so far, but like all good things, this too must come to an end!

If you haven't already, check out the flickr account!  There are photos from all of our classes and even from our Wizarding World meetup.  On your computer, you will see a list of relevant links to the left, this may not be available on all devices.  If you don't see the list, never fear, the link is here:  flickr

You can also check out our Instagram account, @teaching_magic

Also, please sign and return our movie permission slip.  The Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts movies are rated PG/PG13, so we need a parent signature!  This will go out Monday, if you do not receive one, or lose it, just copy/paste/print and send it in.  :)

Alternately, email me at miss_cong[at]hotmail.com


There's still a ton of fun to be had, and lots more pictures to post, so keep checking in this week!

Welcome to Summer School 2017!

Welcome to A.V.!  This year, I am based in Room 101.  We have been having a great week so far, and are looking forward to sharing it with you!

All families should have received a newsletter this week, which needs to be signed and returned.  If you are in more than one of my wizarding classes, you only need one, simply check the correct class. American Girl has a separate form.  If you did not receive one, I have extra copies by the door or you can print the PDF I will send in an email.

I'll be posting photos on flickr shortly, check back frequently for new pictures!  I believe you can still download them for free.


If you are a wizarding family, you may also have received information about a Wizarding World of Harry Potter meet up this Friday.  Since, like me, many wizarding families have annual passes to Universal Studios, I thought it might be fun to have an informal hang out at the park.  I am planning to take the Metro from the South Pasadena station at around 3PM, check out the rides and attractions, have dinner, and leave around 9-10PM.  There may also be a photo scavenger hunt (more details later), with a small prize for the winner.  Feel free to join me for any or all of the activities.  I will post my whereabouts that day on Instagram, so follow me @teaching_magic for updates.  

You will need to purchase your own admission and provide your own transportation (you can come with me on the Metro if you like, but will need to pay your own fare). Students must be accompanied by an adult (additional guests are welcome).
