My kid is back at his Montessori preschool for what might be his last hoorah! He starts kindergarten at a Spanish Immersion school in the fall. For summer session, Cosmos Montessori, likes to do a theme for every week.

( By the way, if you're looking for a Montessori school where kids and teachers are speaking Spanish, your child is loved, and independence is encouraged, I HIGHLY recommend this school for your 3 - 6 year old kid.)

The theme this week is cooking and food. They're making pupusas! I would love to see an around the world global cook book focusing just on baked goods.

Samosa, burrito,

quieres comer conmigo?

Fry it in a pan,

Eat some flan?

Every culture's got a wrap!

a donut, or a calzone!

Let's explore, kids!

The whole world is your home!

But, until, I write that book, this week I'm looking for the
