Way to go, educators, on wrapping up another successful school year!

The May edition of Bear Essential News previews upcoming movies and also continues Bear’s Summer Camp Guide for 2023. Kids also have the chance to win a gift card for two to RoadHouse Cinemas. The new worksheets that go with this issue are available on our website. All the camps in the newspaper are also posted online under Guides: http://www.bearessentialnews.com .

These worksheets and free classroom presentations on writing and reporting are provided by the non-profit Bear Essential Educational Services. Thank you for utilizing the newspaper and the worksheets with your students!

Summer is a great time for your students in grades 2–8 to start writing stories for Bear Essential News! In Tucson, they can also go on the air with KVOA-4.

So please encourage your students to join the free Young Reporters Program and share some of their summer travels, camp experiences, summer reads and other fun ways they escape the heat. We are holding monthly Zoom meetings with special guests whom Young Reporters can interview! Click here for the printable Sign-Up Form.

Young Reporters can also choose to become Science Reporters through our partnership with the SciTech Festival! Go online under our Teachers tab to print out the YR Sign-up Form for your students.

This summer, Bear will be distributed at Bookmans locations, libraries, other family spots and with the Sunday edition of your daily newspaper once a month.

Thank you very much,

Stephen B Gin
