During our celebration, we gave away fruits and vegetables donated by local farmers. This year we received strawberries from Harry's Berries from the Santa Monica Farmers' Market. We also received stone fruit, apples and grapes from Fresno based G Farms (the plums were wonderful) of the Palisades Farmers Market and vegetables from Givens Farm and Frecker Farms also vendors at the Palisades Farmers Market. Here's the count: <span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><br />

<br />
We were overwhelmed by the generosity of the donations! Not only did we give away fruit and veggies two mornings, but we delivered fruit and vegetables to many classes and also used a lot of the vegetables for cooking experiences.<br />
<br />
Several classes wrote thank you notes to the farmers and many students signed a thank you card.<br />

Both are vendors at the Palisades Farmers Market. Second graders made salads with the vegetables and third graders made lettuce wraps. The lettuce wraps also contained black beans, corn broccoli and tomatoes donated by Gelsons. These kids love their veggies! Many kids wanted seconds of the ingredients and of the ranch dressing.<br />

Elenor Buckner serenaded us on the violin. After the speeches and refreshments, students gave tours of the raised bed vegetable gardens and the native plant garden.<br />
<br />
Students from Ms. Creed's class, Ms. Yoshida's class, Ms. Fein's class, Ms. Gardners' class, Ms. Farrell's class, Ms. Schwartz's class, Ms. Bihari's class, Ms. Palo's class, Ms. Chaides' class and Ms. Keller's class participated.<br />
<br />
2nd graders talked about starting seeds under grow lights and transplanting them as well as working in the lower garden before school;<br />
<br />
3rd graders in Ms. Farrell's class talked about planting pumpkins, making salsa as well as having a visiting chef, Chef Sam, who made ratatouille with them and making lettuce wraps. Ms. Bihari's students talked about planting the Three Sisters Garden and how some Native Americans such as the Navajo planted one. Ms. Schwartz's students read the recipe for the rainbow salad.<br />
<br />
4th graders discussed their study of California native plants and gave descriptions of deer grass, white sage and monkey flower. They learned the botanical names of the plants and the uses by Native Americans. They also drew the plants in their notebooks, copying them from their i-pads. Thanks to Sharon Agabra for teaching these units.<br />
<br />
5th graders from Ms. Keller's class talked about Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd president, and his gardens at Monticello. They told us that peas were his favorite vegetable.<br />
<br />
The refreshments included a rainbow salad made by the 3rd graders in Ms. Schwartz's class.<br />
<br />
We recognized members of the PP Garden Club, which has been a donor to our garden program as well as GardeningKnowHow, Kellogg's Garden Products, Gelson's, Renee's Garden and Seed Savers Exchange. Finally, we also thanked the valuable parent volunteers including Sharon Agabra, Winter Armm, Gaby Valensi and Laurie Vander Veen, and the many teachers who are essential for the garden program's success.<br />

They attempted to harden off the seedlings at the beginning of June but the local squirrels ate most of them. We'll try to harden some off under protective netting and hopefully transplant them soon.<br />
<br />
These will be the first pumpkins successfully grown at Marquez!<br />

When the chives germinate and are fairly long, the students will be able to give their chives a haircut! The children sampled chives before they planted the seeds.<br />
<br />
The containers were covered with plastic wrap until the seeds germinated.<br />

Each class visited the lower edible garden with their teacher. We discussed that the peat pots will decompose in the soil.<br />
<br />
Children chose between lettuce seeds and basil seeds. They were able to taste basil.<br />
<br />
The children enjoyed eating and relaxing in the lower garden. Some drew and others looked at the plants and bugs.<br />
<br />
Thanks to the parents and community members who helped serve the salads at the "salad bar". Thanks also to Gelson's for donating the salad ingredients.<br />

At Marquez Charter we're using this month to reinforce eating fruits and vegetables-aka Eating a Rainbow. Vegetables and fruit should make up half of your plate.<br />
<br />
We're lucky here in California to have so many fresh fruits and vegetables!<br />
<br />
The basis of our edible garden program is that <span style="background-color: cyan;">If You Grow It You'll Eat It</span>!! <br />
<br />
Kids from preschool on up usually know the colors of the rainbow. Have them think of a vegetable or fruit for each color...<br />
<br />
The following resources for teachers and parents might give you some ideas:<br />

Some classes are starting seeds inside and others are planting them outside.<br />
<br />
Wherever you're planting, if you have seeds that supposedly expired a year or more ago, you can check the viability by the following test recommended by Gardening Know How, a sponsor of the Marquez Edible Garden:<br />
<br />
"Are Old Seeds Still Good? Before planting with expired seed, there are some steps to take to check whether or not germination will be successful. When wondering, “will expired seeds grow,” gardeners can conduct a simple germination test. To test the viability from a seed packet, simply remove about ten seeds from the packet. Moisten a paper towel and place the seeds into it. Place the damp paper towel into a zip-lock bag. Leave the bag at room temperature for ten days. After ten days, check the germination of the seed. Germination rates of at least 50% indicate a moderately viable packet of seeds.<br />

Seeds need water, warmth and air to germinate. They all need light once they germinate.<br />
<br />
They planted tomatoes for their salsa gardens as well as seeds of several companion plants. We discussed that companions are friends. The companions included lettuce, carrots and peas, The children learned that the seeds are planted twice as deep as they are big. The smaller seeds are barely covered.<br />
<br />
In some classes the children placed a popsicle stick by the cells that each child planted in.<br />
<br />
The children will check their seeds daily to see when they germinate.<br />

This week, Ms. Connor's 2nd graders planted seeds in their raised bed, composted in the worm bin and wrote about this in their journals. They planted seeds of red lettuce. orange carrots and cosmic purple carrots. They also buried seeds from last year's cherry tomatoes to see if they'd germinate. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
They also added scraps of fruit and vegetables, egg shells and coffee ground to the worm bin and played with the worms. The worms eat the food scraps which pass through their bodies and become worm compost. Eventually we'll add the worm compost to our garden beds. We use red wriggler worms in our worm bin. They added the branches of the old tomato plant to the larger compost bin.</div>

We have two compost bins at Marquez. One is the worm bin for vermicomposting and the other is a green tumbler. While we put kitchen scraps in the worm bin, we can put green and brown garden waste as well in the tumbler.</div>

As the 3rd grade is studying "Eating a Rainbow", they planted seeds of different colored vegetables.<br />
<br />
They planted heirloom Little Finger Carrots, Tom Thumb Lettuce, Touchstone Gold Beet, Red Salad Bowl Lettuce, and Valentine's Day Blend Radish. The last three types were donated by High Mowing Organic Seeds.<br />
<br />
The children learned about succession planting-that means planting seeds in succession (in this case 3-4 weeks) to ensure a longer harvest period. Some of the lettuce, eggplant and radishes that they'd planted in December have already germinated.<br />
<br />
We'll be using some lesson ideas from Whole Kids Foundation to reinforce the concept of Eating a Rainbow.<br />
<br />
Some cooking ideas: make a fruit kebab with different color vegetables or make a salad with different colors of vegetables.<br />

This week Jessica Siegel, Gelson's registered nutritionist and dietician, made a kale and strawberry salad with 2nd graders in Mrs. Fein's class. The children actively participated in making the salad.<br />
All children received two pieces of kale which they tore into small pieces. They also cut the strawberries in quarters. Several children eagerly cut the red onion and avocado into small pieces while others mixed the olive oil, lemon juice and soy sauce dressing. After the avocado was added to the salad mixture, several children massaged the greens. Then the rest of the ingredients were added. We made four batches of the following recipe.<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
2 tablespoons lemon juice (juice from 1 juicy lemon)<br />
1 teaspoons San-J tamari lite 50% less sodium soy sauce<br />
1 tablespoon Napa Valley organic olive oil<br />
1 bunch organic lacinato kale leaves, center ribs removed, leaves torn into bite-size pieces<br />
1 small firm, but ripe organic avocado, diced in ½-inch pieces<br />
12 medium organic strawberries, hulled and quartered<br />
2 tablespoons minced red onion<br />
optional- not included in the class lesson-1/2 cup Gelson’s Finest Chandler walnut halves and pieces<br />
<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
<br />
In a small container with a lid, combine lemon juice, tamari, and olive oil. Let stand while you prepare the salad. You may not need all of the dressing<br />
In a salad bowl, combine the kale and avocado. Use your hands to gently massage the avocado into the kale so that the leaves are lightly coated and the avocado pieces are still intact. Add in the strawberry pieces and onion. Shake dressing well and toss the necessary amount with the salad. Toss in walnut pieces and serve<br />

We used organic vegetables and eggs donated by Gelson's. CC is a personal holistic chef that lives in Pacific Palisades.<br />
<br />
She explained that a frittata is an Italian item, like an open-faced omelet.<br />
<br />
The children participated in all aspects of the meal preparation. First they cut the red and yellow peppers and broccoli into small pieces. These were added to the butter and olive oil in the electric skillet and cooked until soft. They also participated in wisking the eggs. (We used 2 dozen for this group of 30.) After the eggs were added to the skillet they were carefully pushed around. The egg mixture was cooked until it was lightly brown on the bottom and firm to the touch.<br />
<br />
We attempt to make the cooking experience as sustainable as possible. We reuse IKEA plates and plastic knives and forks. We also compost the vegetable scraps and egg shells.<br />
<br />
The children enjoyed eating the result! This is something that they can try at home.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Natalia Becir, Maggie Powers and Nona for volunteering.<br />

Sweet Rose is part of the Rustic Canyon Restaurant Group owned by Josh Loeb and Zoe Nathan who live in Santa Monica Canyon. The Pacific Palisades store is on Monument.<br />
<br />
Chris asked the children the name the main ingredients in ice cream. They stated eggs, cream, milk and sugar. Sweet Rose uses organic ingredients and purchases many of them at the Santa Monica Farmers Market.<br />
<br />
The children participated in making banana ice cream. They combined the liquid mixtures, broke the bananas in pieces, added sugar, vanilla and salt, helped blend the mixtures and tasted the mix at two times during the mixing process. Chris and Bella had brought a small ice cream mixing machine so the children could see the process on a small scale.<br />
<br />
Since the mixing in the machine would take 90 minutes, Chris and Bella brought along some pints of banana ice cream and some brownie bites for the children to taste. The children enjoyed their generous snack!<br />
<br />
Thanks to Lily, Debbie and Winter for assisting.<br />

He brought blue and white organic masa that he'd made at the restaurant. He explained how the masa is made from corn. Most students chose to make their quesadillas from the blue masa.<br />
<br />
Each child rolled a piece of masa into a golf ball sized ball and then put it in the tortilla press. After that, the flattened dough was quickly cooked on a griddle and cheese was added.<br />
<br />
The children also made guacamole and cut vegetables that were sauteed.<br />

<br />
This week Laurel Gallucci of Sweet Laurel made pumpkin muffins with Ms. Chaides' 4th graders. Sweet Laurel is one of the new businesses in Pacific Palisades. Laurel volunteered as part of Marquez Charter's Visiting Chef Program. She explained about each ingredient and where it comes from. She also talked about whole foods and processed foods. Students helped make the muffins which were then cooked in toaster ovens. Each student went home with a muffin.<br />
<br />
The muffins were delicious!<br />
<br />
<br />
Pumpkin Muffins<br />
<br />
3/4 cup coconut flour<br />
1 tsp baking soda<br />
1/2 tsp salt<br />
1 tsp cinnamon<br />
1/2 tsp ginger<br />
1/4 tsp cardamon<br />
3/4 cup 100% maple syrup<br />
3/4 cup coconut oil (melted)<br />
6 eggs<br />
3/4 cup pumpkin<br />
<br />
*Pepitas for optional sprinkle<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 350.<br />
<br />
Prepare a muffin pan by lining with muffin tins. Set aside.<br />
<br />
In a medium sized bowl, mix together coconut flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cardamon. Set bowl aside.<br />
<br />
In another bowl, whisk eggs, coconut oil, maple syrup and pumpkin. Slowly add in dry ingredients, then using an ice cream scoop, scoop batter into prepared muffin tins. Fill batter to nearly the top of each muffin liner, as muffins will rise.<br />
<br />
Sprinkle optional pepitas on top of each muffin and bake for about 24 minutes.<br />
<br />
Allow to cool and enjoy!<br />
<br />
This recipe is by Laurel Gallucci Sweet Laurel and is paleo, and completely gluten free, grain free, refined sugar free, dairy free and nut free!<br />

They planted seedlings and seeds.<br />
<br />
The center of the bed has sensory plants: rosemary, lambs' ear and marigolds. The children dug holes and planted these seedlings. They learned that marigolds have edible flowers and that lambs' ear leaves are soft like a lambs ear.<br />
<br />
They then planted carrot and lettuce seeds around the border of the bed.<br />
<br />
After planting they ate carrots for a snack!<br />

They planted lettuce, radishes and carrots in their raised bed after mixing in the Worm Grow compost. (Thanks to Kellogg's for donating the Worm Grow to our school). Thanks to Seed Savers for donating the seeds. These crops are cool season veggies.<br />
<br />
The children tore strips of paper to add to the worm bin for bedding and covering for the red wriggler worms. They also added some veggie scraps and coffee grounds from Ms. Marie's kitchen for the worms to eat. We added some worms to the worm bin and a couple to the bed for the kids to watch.<br />
