Six Little Snowflakes
(Looking for Christmas)
One of our most popular songs for bi-lingual children is featured in this magical musical for the younger grades, “Mi Casa Su Casa.”
Also popular in this mini-musical are the songs “The Day Before, the Day Before Christmas,” and “Christmas is Music.”
Christmas is saved for the homeless shelter by “left behind” snowflakes, a scraggly tree, two kettles of soup left out on a stoop, and a real Virginia ham! All by way of illustrating that it is better to give than to receive.
Teacher Book is $15.00. Student book 5/Pack is $12.50. Perf/Acc CD is $19.95. For Grades K-5, 20 minutes in duration.
