OK....Make a Giant Birthday cake out of corrugated cardboard - or buy a
variety of round boxes. Have each student make one of Jeryl's foil people to
decorate the cake.....etc....and then the fun hats for everyone and so
forth.
There was an idea for the perfect icing on Mary Ann Kohl's list - I will
find it if you are interested. If someone already said this - then sorry for
the duplication....I just now read Linda's. Sorry, I didn't save the orignal
post so must send to the list.
Linda I would sure love to teach in your school!
