PIZZA! PIZZA!

On Thursday, we were using our fresh ingredients to make some pizza. All summer we have been waiting to have enough ingredients and the time finally came.  We spent the class writing recipes using new vocabulary.

The students learned the structure of a recipe and different types of measurement.  After writing the recipe, they gathered all their ingredients from the garden.  Together they made their pizza.  After the pizzas were made, we shared with all the students and tutors!

caring for the plants by Danilo

                                                        Plants that look good
- The tomato looks good. Perhaps the main reason is it has enough water,so it looks good and healthy. The tomato has a green color. There are a many fruits,it is what we need.
- The paper looks healthy,too. Perhaps need more pesticide spray. Then it would be perfect. green is the color,the soil is wet and that is what we need here.
- The yellow onion looks good and healthy. Green is the color here and the soil is wet,too. Perhaps is ready to be picked from the plant. It is watered every other day. This helps it grow normal.


                                                        Plants that looks bad
- The cucumber looks bad. The leaves have a yellow color,they should be green. It need more water so it can continue growing. This is  the reason why there is not enough fruit.
- lettuce is probably dead. Doesn't look good because there is not enough fruits. It didn't have enough water and attention. I think that we cannot help here. 
- The green onion looks bad.  It does not grow enough.  This onion was planted with seeds underground.  But when I planted the onions we didn't have enough soil and this is the main reason why it does not look as good as the other two onions that I planted.

how the care for the plants by Jesus

The bell pepper looks good because it has little bell peppers and its leaves are green .
But it has pests;it needs pesticide.
The cucumber looks bad because its leaves are yellow and it needs more water.This plant needs more water than other plants.

Good -   Rosemary nice smells, a healthy and a beautiful color leaves and much growth.
           
              Tomato is great, has a nice color and lots of fruit.
     
              Chilly pepper has beautiful color, healthy  and  has a lot of fruit.

Bed -    Cucumber is in poor condition, has yellow leaves and fruit are too small. It needed more

             water and trellis.

            Green onion- seeds are too small because some do not have a lot of soil.

            Oregano is dead, it hasn't had water.
