Kid Scoop News—June 2025

Dear Readers,

REINDEER For years, Finnish reindeer herders had problems with cars hitting their herds. Discover their ingenious solution to this problem. MAGNIFICENT MONEY MAZE Can you make your way through?

Then, make a huge grape caterpillar. Definitely going to get creative in the kitchen. For quiet time, I’m going to learn how to draw a butterfly. Maybe I can color that and give it as a card for Father’s Day. There’s lots in this June edition, so set aside some time to read, enjoy, and have fun. Happy June,

I’m looking forward to a June filled with fun and creative things to do. Water Games on pages 6 & 7 are STEM experiments which show how surface tension works, how you can use a water drop as a lens, and a couple of magic tricks with soap and water. Cool! Father’s Day lands on June 21, so we can start by taking a virtual road trip to Lake Puddleston and then by discovering some Scan Now to Track Your Reading Progress!

Sometimes, it’s okay to play with food! One great summer activity is to make a pizza that looks like a cat’s face.

Hello friends, As summer begins, I want to share a few thoughts with you about some special things happening this month. June brings longer days, time with family, and a chance to celebrate Father’s Day—a time to honor the dads, grandpas, uncles, and mentors who support and guide us. A simple way to show your love this year might be to spend time in the kitchen together, preparing something special. Here in Louisiana, cooking is more than just making food—it’s a way of bringing people together. Whether it’s gumbo simmering on the stove, red beans and rice on a Monday, or baking bread pudding from a family recipe, our kitchens hold stories, traditions, and love. Ask someone in your family to teach you how to make a favorite dish. You’ll learn more than just cooking—you’ll learn how we pass down traditions and take care of each other. This month, I’m also inviting you to take part in a special challenge: the Goods and Services Challenge. As you enjoy your summer, take a moment to notice how your community works. Goods are things people make or sell—like the beignets at your local café, the crawfish from the market, or a handmade bracelet from a festival booth. Services are jobs people do to help others—like the chef who cooks at the restaurant, the teacher who helps you learn, or the person who cuts hair at the barbershop. Your challenge is to keep a list of the goods and services you see around you. You can write them down, draw pictures, or share what you find with your family. This activity will help you understand how everyone in a community has an important role, and how people work hard to meet each other’s needs. So this June, take time to celebrate the people you love, try something new in the kitchen, and open your eyes to the everyday work that keeps Louisiana strong. You have so much to learn, and even more to give. Hugs & High Fives, First Lady Sharon Landry
