***This is a glimpse of what books will be introduced this month. Please see classroom bulletin boards for additional themed books.

-oonga boonga
-caterpillar spring
Vocabulary Words:
family, mother, mother’s day, appreciate, respect, graduate, exercise, memorial day, pollenate, bloom, insects, cocoon, butterfly, nest, hummingbird, caterpillar
Ingredients:
*store bought sugar cookies
*a can of white icing
*gum drops
*nonpareils or sprinkles
Directions:
1. Start by putting about half a can of store bought icing into a Ziploc bag. Then cut off a tiny piece of one corner to make squeezing the icing onto the cookie easy.
2. Using your homemade icing bag, squeeze a small bead of icing all the way around the cookie. It doesn’t have to be perfect, once it is covered in sprinkles no one will even notice:)
3. Pour your nonpareils into a shallow dish and then place the iced cookie face down in the plate of nonpareils.
4. Turn them back over and add a drop of icing in the center of the cookie.
5. Add a gum drop to the icing then sprinkle on a few extra nonpareils to cover any extra icing.
Once you get your first cookie made and get a feel for it, these are SUPER easy to make assembly line style and the kiddos can even help by sticking on the gum drop!
We hope these Sombrero Cookies help make your Cinco de Mayo a little more fun and a lot sweeter!
