You Need to Visit Mrs. P's Digital Library

I hope everyone is having an amazing summer! I am enjoying spending time with my family and friends, traveling, and learning new things.

This week my friend Kyle told me about a fun interactive digital storybook website called Mrs. P's Magic Library. Mrs. P, also known as actress Kathy Kinney, has created an amazing site that contains a Magic Library to listen to stories, fun activities, annual writing contests, and other learning resources. While you are listening to Mrs. P read a story, you can even play a spelling game or stop to send her a letter. And one thing I loved...she even has her own dictionary for help!

Mrs. P's stories are free on her website. Hagan has loved listening to Mrs. P read Jack and the Beanstalk and The Frog Prince this week. You can also purchase and download her wonderful stories to take with you too from iTunes, kidthing, or Audible Books. I have already downloaded several onto my iTouch for Hagan to listen to and I can't wait to share these with you in the library too!

Mrs. P has also included valuable teacher and parent resources on her site.

Have fun checking out Mrs. P's Magic Library and remember to KEEP ON READING this summer! I will see you all soon.
