Why 3ds?

I have three sons whose name's begin with d...Steph's three ds!  The purpose of this blog is to share with friends and family my travel experience to Denmark.  I am going with the UNC Center for International Understanding along with several other educators from June 16-23.  My focus will be on Hans Christian Andersen and how his works effect culture.  I want to help my students recognize the original works versus fractured fairy tales and Disney movies.  One of my personal worries is when children think Walt Disney wrote the Little Mermaid, or Puss in Boots is just a character from Shrek.  I am very excited about traveling to the birthplace of story!
