FUZZYTOWN: AFTER THE FLOOD
http://zachohorastudio.blogspot.com/2012/11/after-flood.html
Monday, November 5, 2012. In an affort to fight off cabin fever during the Frankenstorm, Oskar and I made these wallets out of painted paper and cellophane tape. He and Teddy have become big TMNT fans so he wanted a Raphael wallet, Teddy's Michaelangelo wallet is in the works and in between, I made a Nilson and Amelia wallet, just cause. The happy Nilsson wallet, for when he's nice and full of cash. But when its empty you get this guy. Labels: childrens books, snoring, otters Arts and Laughs. Stop Snorin...

FUZZYTOWN: November 2012
http://zachohorastudio.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 26, 2012. PS 347 and the Woodsies. Last month I had the privilege of reading Bernard to the awesome kids at P.S. 347 which is a school for the Deaf and Hearing Impaired as well as children with Deaf or Hearing Impaired parents. One thing that Gary zeroed in on is my love for the work of Margret and H. A. Rey. Curious George is a big influence and I was reminded of another big influence over the holiday that I had forgotten about.Anyone remember these guys? Monday, November 5, 2012. The h...

Follow Your Bliss: Cupcake
http://followingyourbliss.blogspot.com/2008/03/cupcake.html
Saturday, March 22, 2008. The other day during bus dismissal I was reminded that children represent the best of what mankind can attain. . I was chatting with a former first grade student that I affectionately call 'cupcake' - this is the artist, who after I remarked on the beauty of one her drawings last year replied "I don't go to art school for nothing". She is truly outstanding in so many ways. . 160;Your hair is really long now. Gary: Why are you going to do that? Cupcake: So they won't die. I thi...

Follow Your Bliss: January 2015
http://followingyourbliss.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 3, 2015. Why did you become a teacher? I get asked this quite a bit in tones ranging from sincere inquiry to rhetorical distaste. And now that I have my Ph.D the question and flavor have morphed into "What are you going to do now that you have a doctorate? The expectation is that I should move up. As if teaching is a stepping stone toward something greater or more important. I've never viewed it that way. Connection leads to my second reason. They also gave me a copy of Curious George.

Sunday, March 22, 2015. Oni and I are diligent about establishing and maintaining a positive classroom culture. We want our students to safely explore those risk-taking. Challenges that push them towards an A-Ha! Our beliefs are couched within the premise that in order to own the learning our students must enjoy the ride. We always frame the assessments within the parameters of the fact that it helps us. Teach them better. Tests and assessments let us. Know how we are doing. Links to this post. The lates...

Follow Your Bliss: Who Would Win?
http://followingyourbliss.blogspot.com/2011/12/who-would-win.html
Saturday, December 17, 2011. In the spirit of the Who Would Win? Books that have my first graders entranced as of late, I decided to apply this question to a mythological battle between the unfortunate snake-coiffed Medusa and the one-eyed man-child Polyphemus (a.k.a. Odysseus' impetuous Cyclops). The children wrote their responses to include a brief supporting statement as to why one or the other would prove victorious. As I put this question to them I thought, "First grade rocks! This is great because ...

FUZZYTOWN: UNIFORMITY
http://zachohorastudio.blogspot.com/2012/12/uniformity.html
Tuesday, December 11, 2012. Some spots for a Teaching Tolerance Magazine article on the myth that school uniforms are good for kids and their school environment. Labels: childrens books, snoring, otters editorial spots. Everything is the same but completely different. That school of hacks run by that cult that we had to attend.

FUZZYTOWN: June 2012
http://zachohorastudio.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 19, 2012. Need to catch up on posting some recent work, here is a job for the Improper Bostonian about a young persons experience on a cruise. I've never been on a cruise, so I learned about many cruise things. Like those towel animal things. And that you can buy a book on how to make those animals, but its only for sale on the ship! Below is a spot that shows those creepy little towel animal things. Labels: childrens books, snoring, otters congo lines. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

FUZZYTOWN: September 2012
http://zachohorastudio.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 27, 2012. Oskar doesn't really take naps anymore. But Teddy does, so now during "naptime" we do fun projects. Today was Old Wood Block sculpture day. And Oskar learned about Blue Cheese. He thinks Blue Cheese is about the funniest thing he's ever heard of. Here he is hard at work, and its hard to tell from this picture but that "cheese shaped" wedge on the table is painted a light blue and that led to the discussion. Labels: childrens books, snoring, otters Afternoon fun. It was made ...
