Looks like a Warm Winter Break!

The DecemBear edition published and distributed. This month, Bear Essential News highlights several fun and festive holidays of the season. This issue is also packed with a variety of great news and other features, too!

The standards-based Worksheets that go along with the DecemBear issue are posted on Bear’s website. Teachers can sign up here for worksheet notifications.

As you plan for the second part of the school year, Bear’s Field Trip Guide is a handy resource for Phoenix and Tucson! Scroll down under Bear’s Guides tab.

Through the non-profit, Bear Essential Educational Services (BEES), you can have Bear editors visit your school or organization to conduct free presentations on writing and/or reporting for kids! Details are online under the Teachers tab. Call the toll-free number to schedule or if you have questions.

This is a great time of the year to start your students in BEES’ literacy award-winning Young Reporters Program. Please encourage your students in grades 2 thru 8 to join this FREE writing program! Students choose the stories they want to cover, and those stories are edited before being published on the pages of Bear Essential News. Young Reporters are our eyes and ears at their school, on fun field trips and in their club or other afterschool activities. Please call 1-866-NEWS KID if you have any questions.

This program and these worksheets are brought to you by the 501(c)(3) non-profit Bear Essential Educational Services.

May your holidays and the New Year shine bright,
