Spanish as a Second Language - SSL Raising Bilingual Kids

Read Across America Day.
One of my favorite books is “Mary had a little llama” by Angela Dominguez. This is the South America version of “Mary had a little lamb”.

I read this book to my students in Spanish and English. We talked about Peru and its location. We also talked about some typical musical instruments from this beautiful country. Here is a link where the author reads this book in both languages as well: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1SF4YeZamlk

The “h” in Spanish is silent like in: hola
The “j” in Spanish is our laughing letter: jejeje.
Now, how do you think Santa Claus laughs in Spanish?

FELIZ
NAVIDAD

¿Cómo se llama?
