Great job everyone!

Anna, in keeping with the Disney Frozen theme, here’s a song from your namesake:

Do you want to build a snowman?

Don’t know how but want to try?

A quick search on wikiHow

You can build one now,

Even in July!

If you want to build a snowman

You don’t even need the snow,

If you have a new idea,

Don’t be afraid,

Let everybody know!
