Dear Readers,

HELLO and WELCOME 2026! What are you looking forward to in the New Year? ME? I want to read more, learn more, eat better, discover new things, save more, explore, and have fun. What about you? The good news is, we can start reaching our new year goals by reading Kid Scoop News! This month, I will learn about The Kraken, whom sailors of long ago used to fear. They thought a Kraken could sink their ships! The theme of RAINBOWS keeps popping up in this issue of Kid Scoop News. Just like a real rainbow.

How many pages in this month’s issue have the word RAINBOW? How many times can you find the word RAINBOW? Another of my new year goals is to stay active and be fit. The Fit & Fun page in this month’s issue shows you some silly snowman stretching and wiggling that you can do indoors or outdoors! So start your year out right with Kid Scoop News. Read, play, move, and discover! Happy New Year!

Brandon Foreman

3 January is a wonderful time to learn something new, stay curious, and explore the world around you. This month, we’re talking about colorful foods, amazing animals, big science ideas, and even a legendary sea creature! With every new year comes new resolutions, let’s try to keep our bodies strong by “eating the rainbow.” Let’s choose fruits and veggies of every color: red strawberries, orange carrots, green kiwis, and purple grapes! And when you're done experimenting with food, try a new science experiment! Let's make a simple barometer to learn about air pressure. All you need is a jar, a balloon stretched across the top, and a straw taped like a tiny pointer. When the balloon moves, the straw does too, helping you see changes in the air around you! I hope these fun topics inspire you to explore, imagine, and learn all month long. Keep shining bright, Louisiana kids! 6
