FOUR LEGS GOOD, TWO LEGS BAD


El renacuajo está contemplando a su propia reflección. Quizá está pensado en comó seriá andar por el mundo a pie en vez de nadar por los corrientes del río.
¿Qué tipo de rana es esa? Creo que es un Pacific Tree Frog.

FLOWERS



The flower is the blossoming part of the plant.
Flowers make seeds for the plant to reproduce itself.
Different parts of the flower do different jobs.
The colorful petals attract a pollinator
like a bird or insect.
The stamens drop pollen onto the pistil.
The pollen travels down inside the pistil
to the ovary. The seeds grow inside the ovary.
The flower looks beautiful but it has
a very important job to do for the plant.

CESAR CHAVEZ



En sus propias palabras:

Compañeros: así como una sola familia deberemos siempre, siempre actuar.
Como una sola familia, porque estamos en la misma causa,
la misma necesidad. Porque compartimos el mismo futuro.
No valemos nada solos, pero juntos valemos mucho.
La gente tiene que sentir su ser, sentir que sí se puede…
¡que sí se puede hacer!

HANDLE WITH CARE


We planted our sweatpea starts in the garden today.
Some of the students did the planting while the other students
had a lesson from Ms. Elizabeth about our new farmers market.
Everybody enjoyed tasting a fresh carrot at the end.

A COLOR CHANGING EXPERIMENT


The stem helps the plant move water from the roots to the leaves.
We did an experiment with an asparagus stem
to see how the water travels through the stem.
The water travels up through tiny tubes in the stem.
After a little time, the asparagus changes color
from the colored water.
You can see the color change in the leaves.

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.

UN LIBRO INTERESANTE por Ruben



¿Tu sabes del cuento "Bajo la luna de limón"?
Ese libro se trata de un limonero. Rosalinda tiene ese limonero.
Un senor que se llama el Hombre de la Noche estaba robando sus limones.
Los personajes de este cuento son Rosalinda y el Hombre de la Noche.
El problema es que el Hombre de la Noche le esta robando
los limones del jardin de Rosalinda. Las ramas del limonero estan quebradas
porque el Hombre de la Noche las quebró.
El cuento pasa en el jardín de Rosalinda y en el mercado.
El Hombre de la Noche le robó los limones a Rosalinda para venderlos
y ayudar a su familia.
A mi, me gustó mucho el cuento porque
era interasante y porque era bonito.

JOSE MARTI



TIENE EL LEOPARDO UN ABRIGO
José Martí
Tiene el leopardo un abrigo
En su monte seco y pardo:
Yo tengo más que el leopardo,
Porque tengo un buen amigo.


Tiene el conde su abolengo:
Tiene la aurora el mendigo:
Tiene ala el ave: ¡yo tengo
Allá en México un amigo!


Tiene el señor presidente
Un jardín con una fuente,
Y un tesoro en oro y trigo:
Tengo más, tengo un amigo.
