Hello guys and welcome to our Blog!

Our first on-line work is for you to make a list of groceries you need to buy in the grocery store. 
As you do that you need to think of  different adjectives to describe each of the previous containers. Include what they look like and what they can be made of. Also, the food or drinks that can be inside. 

Remember that when giving a coplete description of something the adjective order is important. Check this chart.

Include your complete names at the end of the list you write.
