<p>Hi Jen,</p>
<p> I teach grades K through 8 about gardening and nutrition. Currently, I am trying to organize a fundraiser to generate the money I need to teach the kids about the current and future possibilities in green jobs. I currently am trying to install a green roof on our toolshed. The list could go on and on. I love all of your ideas and will continue to check out your blog!! Another Jen shouting out from Oakland, CA.</p>

<p>As a FACS teacher, I find that students really enjoy learning about the origins of food as it relates to their daily lives - for example, with Valentine's Day approaching, learning all about the cocoa bean. I think that visiting the restaurant, Seasons 52, would be a great field trip because the menu changes seasonally, entrees are under 500 calories, and only fresh herbs and spices are used.</p>

Jen, I'm a graduate students getting my master's in education, and will begin my student teaching in the fall. I'm always looking for new ideas and fun activities to incorporate into the classroom, and I love yours! What a great way to get make connections between the classroom and real life, and get kids to think about nutrition at the same time! I will definitely tuck this one into my pocket for future use :) Thank you!

Hi Colleen,<br />
<br />
I would love to chat. Your course seems great and it's crucial more teachers take this subject matter on!<br />
Feel free to email me at jboylan@hsmse.org. We can talk more.

I'd love to talk more about this. I focus on food in my urban ecology (environmental science) course. We read a lot of the same texts and watch the same films as you. We did a project based on the book 'what the world eats' (photographs of families with a week's worth of food). I also have an Iron Chef 'goes green' cooking contest each semester, which is always a lot of fun.

What a great way to incorporate high-interest, thoughtful texts! I can see a team-taught class with Applied Arts as an elective!
