We've done comparisons of:

The Snow Queen and Frozen

She also has a Greek Mythology unit that looks great.

On a sad note tonight, 2nd Grade Pig Pen was one of the first blogs I followed.  She went to live with Heavenly Father on Monday evening.  Thank you so much for sharing your life with us.  I know that Heavenly Father loves you and know that you're dancing in Heaven. 

 You will be greatly missed, Teresa.  

My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time.
