Wishing you & your students a great
2012, teachers!

Here are January’s work sheets for the new edition of Bear Essential News. Please take a moment to share your thoughts about the work sheets on this online survey, which automatically appears in front of the Work Sheets page (or you can go to it directly: teacher_survey.php.)

This month, Bear Essential News celebrates Arizona’s centennial with the help of the Arizona Historical Society. Boomer takes a look at life when our territory became the 48th state in the Union and asks young readers to compare it to life today and project what’ll be like in the next 100 years.

Big announcement Bear Essential Educational Services: Boomer is proud to have Peter Piper Pizza as the new sponsor of the Young Reporters Program in Southern Arizona! Your students in grade 2 thru 8 are welcome to join this free program and write for the newspaper and even go on TV. Visit BearEsssentialNews.com and click on Young Reporters for info and the sign-up sheets. Videos of Young Reporter segments are now online, too!

Dr. JAW Orthodontics is the new sponsor of Bear’s Teacher of the Month in Southern Arizona. Teachers in the Tucson area can be nominated using the form in the newspaper, by e-mailing renee@bearessentialnews.com or by faxing a nomination to 520-792-2580.

Your students also can write Letters to Boomer, go online to Boomer’s Blog or ask pet or animal questions in Paw Prints!

Happy New Year,
