Worksheets October 2025

The fun & learning continues!

Bear Essential’s October Edition is packed with our annual Field Trip and Family Outings Guide, thought-provoking stories, fun activities and a section on local fall and Halloween events. News Highlights and in the Spotlight on page 3 is a Worksheet activity about interviewing.

This month’s main feature is all about creepy critters, including a few desert dwellers.

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

Boomer Bear’s Fall & Halloween Happenings! can be found on pages 4 & 6 in the Phoenix Edition and pages 4 & 8 in the Tucson issue. ’Tis the season for many ballet and theater companies, orchestras and art studios.

Please encourage your student in grades 3 thru 8 to join our Young Reporters Program! Students cover the stories that interest them, and those stories are edited before being published in Bear Essential News. Please call 1-866-NEWS KID if you have any questions or if your school needs to change the amount of newspapers it is receiving.

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

Enjoy your fall, y’all,
