Barbara Gordon
Barbara Gordon is a second grade teacher in Chesley, Ontario
Joe is different from his classmates in a very special way. Joe was born with Down syndrome. He is teaching his whole class how this makes him different and why this makes him special.
Mrs. Gordon, the same teacher who brought you How Covid Changed Us, invited her second grade class to participate in this special project that celebrates Joe and everything that makes him unique. With input from Joe's parents, a Speech and Language Pathologist, and Educational Assistants who work with Joe, this book is not only a special keepsake of a wonderful year, but an educational tool for families and classrooms everywhere.
