El Dia de los Reyes

Hola Clase! I found an interesting children's story by Esmeralda Santiago. Santiago is one of the most influential Puerto Rican writiers of English and Spanish literary works. Please read this story. It is basically about the way the Puerto Rican people celebrate the holiday season on their island. For example, their types of decorations, traditional foods, and how they ask Santa for the gifts that they want for Christmas. This book is found in the local libraries. Ojo: If you are unable to find the book in your library, type in El Dia De Los Reyes, Santiago, Esmeralda in Google Books, and you will be sure to find the book. In addition, we will be discussing what you have read in Spanish for class when you return on Thursday.
