"Una Navidad Extraña"

I am excited to release a new song, "Una Navidad Extraña".  I always wanted to do a song about with Holidays, and wanted to come up with something that would grab the attention of the students.  I have four sons, but my 4 year old, Jacob is the one that is always the most interested in what is happening on www.senorashby.com.  He has a love for music, and a love for learning! Jacob and I sat down to begin writing the song and he helped come up with a lot of the fun ideas in the first verse.  He had the idea to have Santa's sleigh pulled by elephants (spoiler alert), and filled with turkeys.  We started writing the song in October, and each day I came home from work he'd ask me if we could work more on the song.  It was a lot of fun!  He even has a small part at the very end.  

The song features a talented vocalist, Anna DenBoer.  Anna teaches at my building, and she did a great job singing the chorus!  It is also my first time having an animated version of a song. The song incorporates some Hispanic and U.S. holidays and I hope you get a chance to take a couple of days to use the song and corresponding activities.  Sr. Ashby subscribers can access those activities here.
