I have chosen a children's picture book that I have authoured for this week's Book Pick, not because I wrote it (why am I even apologising on my own blog?) but because the content is relevant to our current lessons on numbers, telling the time, and the letter R (for Rabbit). Additionally, I will be teaching the K-2 and K-3 students Creative Writing by the middle of the third quarter. Therefore, "What Time is it, Barney?" is meant to provide the children with inspiration. Anyone can write; all you need is just a little bit of imagination and determination. |
I am very grateful to have worked with so many wonderful and brilliant educators, in particular Dr. Candace Galla (Department of Education, University of British Columbia) and Dr. Jim Anderson (Department of Education, University of British Columbia). I am also very grateful to have been invited to collaborate in another (ongoing) multimodal and multilingual education project initiated by colleagues at UBC.
