Touching Spirit Bear

Help me give my students the gift of literature with a classroom set of the book, Touching Spirit Bear.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Covey's classroom raised $247

My Project

All of our students are unique in their own way. I am an EC teacher who collaborates together with the 7th grade ELA teacher. We want to do a unit on the novel, Touching Spirit Bear. The few books that we have are very old and tattered. We both feel that our students are going to gain so much from doing a book study unit with this book.

We would love if we could get a new classroom set of the novel, Touching Spirit Bear, to share between 4 periods of students.

We have some of these books, but some of our books the pages are falling out and we are having to use those books in pieces. We would really appreciate if we had a new set of books to use with our students.
