Kidz Klub Connection 10
Hello Kidz Klub!
Happy Friday one and all! Just like you, I’m missing being with my friends! Thank goodness for computers, and cell phones, and iPads, and all other devices out there that we can use to keep in ‘virtual’ touch with our friends! I’ve been using a laptop Miss Ashley has let me borrow to stay connected with all of you while I’m home staying healthy and safe. I’ll be honest, I’m not so good at technology so it has been a challenge to navigate through this wonderful world of ‘the web’! I’m happy to share that each day I am learning something new. It’s just like being back to school for me, and I am enjoying it!
However, just like how all of you need your teachers to help guide you through your online lessons, I also needed help and Miss Jocelyn has come to my rescue … many, many times! So, I decided to dedicate today’s Kidz Klub Connection in honor of my colleague and friend (and my computer guru), Miss Jocelyn! I’m sure many of you know how much Miss Jocelyn LOVES Halloween. I decided to make all of today’s activities be HALLOWEEN themed!
Enjoy!
Be Safe. Be healthy. Make good choices.
Take good care.

KINDERGARTEN and FIRST GRADE LEVELS
When it comes to teaching your kindergarteners the sounds of letters like B, F, and L, you can’t beat this monster letter song. This is a great review for first graders, too! Not only is the music catchy but the dance moves these little monster letters use to showcase their sounds are totally enthralling. You might want to get up and dance along while calling out the sounds.
Yum, candy! Make multiplication a little sweeter with this candy shop array. By listening to the narrator, second graders can find candy jars containing the correct multiplication array. To do so, they'll count rows and columns, gaining understanding of one-digit multiplication in the process. Also great for third graders, this math game is a tasty way for kids to practice multiplication
This geometry game challenges students to try their hand at treasure map graphing on a coordinate plane. Students are asked to enter the (x.y) coordinates to help the pirate find all his lost crew and treasure, with the promise of getting a share of the booty for a reward. Thematic visual and auditory cues make learning graphing and data skills into a swashbuckling game. These math skills are essential for the fifth grade curriculum.

Crispy Phyllo Wrapped Hot Dog Mummies
INGREDIENTS:
- One 16-ounce package bun-size hot dogs (8 hot dogs), each halved crosswise
- 2 ounces Cheddar, cut into 16 thin slices
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 8 sheets phyllo dough
- 4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- Ketchup, yellow mustard, barbecue sauce or your favorite dipping sauce, for serving and decorating
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut a slit in each hot dog piece and stuff with a slice of cheese. Set aside. Combine the salt, garlic powder and pepper in a small bowl.
- Working with one sheet of phyllo at a time and keeping the rest covered under a damp towel or paper towels, lay a phyllo sheet on a large cutting board or counter and lightly brush with melted butter. Lightly sprinkle with some of the spice mix and fold in half lengthwise. Brush the top with more melted butter and cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips. Using 2 pieces of stuffed hot dogs per phyllo sheet, wrap half of the strips around each piece of hot dog to create a mummy look. Leave a small section of hot dog exposed towards the top so it looks like the top part of the face peeking out from the phyllo wrappings. Don't worry about frayed edges or tears-- it will add to the mummy look.
- Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining phyllo, melted butter, spice mix and hot dogs. Re-melt the butter if it cools down too much while forming the mummies.
- Bake until the phyllo is crisp and golden brown, about 25 minutes. If desired, dot ketchup or mustard eyes on each mummy using a toothpick and serve with extra sauces for dipping.
