Today, one of our local counties (one hard hit by this pandemic) announced that they will not be returning to school until February. Many of the others have already said they will start with remote and do a phased-in approach and not necessarily returning fully until November. Most likely returning the learners who need the most adjustment or in-person support and moving down the pipeline.
We were lucky to have devices at home and extra devices from school to support their learning. But as we think about the fall, I am wondering whether or not we should invest in another Chromebook or laptop.

Harry Potter wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the International Quidditch Cup with Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys.

He wants to find out about the mysterious event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn’t happened for a hundred years. He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. Unfortunately for Harry Potter, he’s not normal – even by wizarding standards. And in this case, different can be deadly.
With over 150 dazzling illustrations from Jim Kay, this new fully illustrated edition of the complete and unabridged text of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is sure to delight fans and first-time readers alike.
