Dear Boomer,
I’m going in to sixth grade this years and I’m really scared. Do you have any advice for me?
—S.B.
Hey, S.B.!
Summer break is quickly coming to an end, and many kids are moving up to a new school. Some of my friends tell me that middle school is a lot different from grade school. They like it more and like the new challenges. So when you start your new school, be prepared, be organized and be yourself—a positive attitude goes a long way!
Remember to have fun,
Boomer Bear
Dear Boomer,
My friend and I are both Young Reporters. Can we write a story together?
Your friend,
S.B.
Hey, Young Reporters!
As former Alaska governor (and former vice-presidential candidate) Sarah Palin would say, “YOU BETCHA!” Two or even three Young Reporters can write up a news story—it can be a lot o’ fun.
Your fellow reporter,
Boomer Bear
Hi Boomer,
I’m going into 6th grade this year, and I’m really excited. What grade are you going into and what’s your favorite subject?
Your funny friend,
F.F.
It’s that time of year again, F.F.!
As for me, I’m heading into fifth grade at Bear Canyon Elementary. My teacher for this year is Ms. Oso, who’s great when it comes to writing, my favorite thing in the world. Best of luck as you step up to middle school—I’ve a feeling this is gonna be a great year for ya!
Your furry friend,
Boomer Bear
Dear Boomer,
I feel like a failure when someone tells me I’m doing something wrong. Sometimes I don’t even mean to do something wrong. Am I a failure?
Sincerely,
V.B.
Dear V.B.,
You’re far from being a failure. You’ve been a Young Reporter for a couple of years now, and I know you’re considerate, talented and smart. It isn’t easy growing up these days. We all do things “wrong” sometimes. And people like your parents and teachers are around to help guide you, hopefully in a constructive way.
Friends always,
Boomer Bear
Hi Boomer,
I’m working on a news article about “A Quick and Easy Way to Peel a Banana.” Here’s how you peel a banana like a monkey! 1. Turn the banana upside down. 2. Pinch the bottom of the banana. 3. Stick your finger in it and peel down. Ta da!

story!
Go bananas,

Dear Boomer,
How do you submit a book? I wrote a book and I want to submit it. I’m sometimes bored over the summer— there’s nothing to do. Can you help?
Thanks,
G.V.
Chin up, G.V.,
It’s time for school! Seeing your friends, getting a new teacher and learning all sorts of new stuff should be far from boring. Congrats on writing your first book! Why don’t you give it to your teacher to review? We can’t print it in Bear Essential News cause it’s too long, but your teach might have an idea or two on what you should do.
Keep on writing!

Yo, C.V.!
That’s very nice. I didn’t know how monkeys peel bananas. But do you know how an octopus peels a banana? They don’t because bananas don’t grow underwater!
Just monkeying around,
Boomer Bear
Boomer,
Those recipes are sure cool. I’ve tried the cup of dirt. It tastes great!
I might try the breakfast barf next.
Your friend, Y.L.
Dear Y.L.,
In case any readers missed it this summer, I came up with a whole cookbook worth of gross recipes that kids can cook up for their families!
You can still get these recipes at www.BearEssentialNews.com.
