The key words here are fun, laugh and sing! We have two PowerPoint presentations for you today. You know the old adage about not smiling until Christmas well… It’s Christmas and time to smile, sing and laugh. On this post we offer “sing-a-long” possibilities for you and your students.
The first is a PowerPoint presentation entitled the “Twelve Days of Christmas.” The first slide contains the credits but please note WE did revise the presentation slightly. The revisions are also noted on the first slide.
The second is also a PowerPoint presentation which WE created and used in our classes over the years. José Feliciano sings “Feliz Navidad” and you and your students can join in.
We hope your students ENJOY the sing-a-long!
Please visit the “Resources” page to access these two PowerPoint presentations.

And with that wonderful time of the year at hand we have a wonderful 6 part story on video. The story is entitled “La princesa de las nieves.” Each part is only 8 minutes in length, which gives you the flexibility to use it at the end of the period, or any way you see fit.
Once again, you are reminded that ALL videos should be previewed by you prior to showing them in class. All 6 parts have been posted on the “Videos” page. We hope you enjoy this story.
