LIMONERO por Jordi

Yo leí el cuento de "Bajo la luna de limón".
Los personajes fue la anciana, la abuela, el papá,
y la mamá y una niña llamada Rosalinda. El cuento tomó
en lugar en el jardín de Rosalinda, la casa de la abuela y el mercado.
El problema fue que el Hombre de la Noche se estaba robando
los limones de Rosalinda. A mi me gustó leer ese cuento porque
la anciana le dio una rama y Rosalinda le pusó la rama cuando estaba
la luna llena. Crecieron muchos limones que parecían la luna llena.

GLC COMES TO LONGWOOD

GLC (Growing Learning Communities) came to Longwood today after school. Teachers from different schools in Hayward and Oakland came to see our garden. We learned about different kinds of cucumbers. We tasted the cucumbers, then learned how to plant the seeds. We also looked at all the planting beds to see the different stages that the fava beans are at. Later, we got together in the teacher room to eat dinner together. After dinner we had a lesson on fat in food and excercise in the classroom.
