I do a lot with music on my SMART Board for transitions and things like that so he might get some use out of those too. Any ideas of how I can send these to you?<br /><br />That's so cool that you started a recycling program at your school and then how it was adopted by your whole district! I had big dreams for how to get my school to go green, and not many were on board, so I just do stuff in my own classroom like having cloth napkins, recycling everything (which the district now supports and makes available), and having reuseable plates and silverware. It seems like others are catching on, so that's good. I love that you're school has an Environmental Unit where you get to watch some great "green" documentaries. Food Inc. is one of my all time favorites because it appeals to such a wide audience. Also, I love all those "Oprah Going Green Episodes"!<br /><br />Tell your friend Jenny that those gluten-free sandwich petals look amazing, I will be buying some soon! I'll have to let you know how they turn out!Ashley's Conscious Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846491630494463371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400409055924139965.post-60413084158337231402011-01-14T18:33:37.957-07:002011-01-14T18:33:37.957-07:00My friend Jenny found these that may work for you:...My friend Jenny found these that may work for you: http://www.triumphdining.com/blog/gluten-free/2010/02/versatile-gluten-free-sandwich-petals/Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10071096768527336687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400409055924139965.post-65097667047146737482011-01-14T10:04:58.883-07:002011-01-14T10:04:58.883-07:00Ahahhaa, you sound just like me! I love YOUR post...Ahahhaa, you sound just like me! I love YOUR posts, first blog I've ever read in its entirety, seriously so helpful I can't put it into words! Thanks for reading mine, sometimes I feel like my mom is the only one reading these posts! :)<br /><br />That is so cute that you've been teaching your 3-5 year old (Special Education?) students yoga using a Smartboard (is that what you use?)! My husband actually has a ton of smartboard activities and would probably love a copy of your yoga stuff, he tries to do it with his kids every day too, just to get them up and moving around. Thanks for the link, how cute are those?! I bet the kids LOVE that! If it's something you can send, he would totally be able to use it!<br /><br />I just told all my friends that I have a bbff (blog bff), too funny! That's amazing that you tried an event like that at school, we get the same response usually but at least we are trying and that's all we can do I suppose. I actually started the recycling program at our high school 2 years ago (there wasn't one!) and it was a slow go but is now pretty sucessful. The district actaully adopted their own program, giving all the schools a big bin and requiring everyone to recycle, based on the program we started. It was amazing, because of my 175 students, the whole school recycles (2000 students) and now all 12 high schools in our district follow our lead - incredible. I tell my students all the time that just one person really CAN make a difference.<br /><br />Right now, we are doing our 9 week Environmental Unit where we watch An Inconvenient Truth and Food Inc. It is my favorite part of the year and the students learn so much! <br /><br />I asked my friend, with the vegan blog, if she had any good suggestions for you regarding pizza crust, I will let you know if she finds anything. I am Italian and don't like to tell people we use Ragu on pizza and spaghetti, but seriously is the best store-bought sauce! I should be making my own sauce, I know I know, but it takes forever and Ragu is oh so good!<br /><br />Ian said if you want any of his smartboard stuff he will totally share too, just let me know! He does it with his kids but I'm sure it is at the same level for yours too. :)<br /><br />Please excuse typos, I'm at school and typing fast while the kids are watching Oprah's Going Green episode! Happy Friday fellow mommy, enjoy your weekend and pizza! :)Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10071096768527336687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400409055924139965.post-65671320006302946082011-01-13T20:23:03.721-07:002011-01-13T20:23:03.721-07:00Okay now I feel like the stalker...2 comments to y...Okay now I feel like the stalker...2 comments to your blog in a day, but what can I say...I love your posts! That is so cool that you teach yoga at your high school. I've been trying to teach my 3-5 yr. olds yoga at school and it's been a little tricky, but I've got all kinds of yoga postitions on a interactive white board activity and I use visuals like these (http://www.theyogazoo.com/yogazooproducts.html). They're catching on and they love to move and stretch. How awesome that you're teaching these teens yoga! It's by far my favorite form of exercise and like you mentioned, it has so many health benefits that will serve them now and later in life!<br /><br />Did you say you have a Recycling Club too? You are officially my new best friend! He he! I tried having a "Going Green" Family Event at my school this fall, where we had a recycling drive, healthy snack, and a chance for families to learn ways to go green. There wasn't much turn out, but I think the families that came appreciated it. That's so cool that you try to go green at your school too...there's not many of us!<br /><br />By the way, you're pizzas looked delicious! I've been craving pizza lately, but have had trouble finding a good gluten-free crust. I think my hubby and I might try out a local pizza spot that has a gf-crust and vegan cheese=double bonus! That's funny that you mentioned Ragu sauce...I always get whatever kind is at my local health food store, but I burned out on them early in my pregnancy and when I was growing up I always had Ragu. Needless to say, I've been having lots of Ragu lately! LOL- have a good rest of your week!Ashley's Conscious Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846491630494463371noreply@blogger.com
