Kidz Klub Connection 6
Hello Kidz Klub!
As we begin a new week, I wanted to say how much I miss you all! I miss greeting you at the front desk when you arrive to the Club from school. I miss walking through the classrooms, hearing your voices and laughter, and seeing you all having fun with your teachers and friends. I miss the hustle and bustle of the Club!
I am so looking forward for all of us to be together again. Until then, here’s a few ways to stay connected:
- Call your buddies and share your daily stories
- Facetime with one another
- Put together group challenges that you can share on your devices: funny videos, LEGO build challenge…the ideas are endless!
- Do schoolwork that teachers are sending you together…again, using your devices
- Try out the different projects and challenges your Boys and Girls Club staff are posting every day
There is much we can all do to keep ourselves busy. Remember to exercise our minds and our bodies daily.
Take Good Care!

Check out YouTube Learn@Home for all ages! Here's a Welcome Message from them:
Learn@Home
A resource for families with children of different ages & areas of interest.
As schools around the world close their buildings and families find themselves at home, we want to ensure that learning together continues. So we’re partnering with learning creators to bring parents & families resources and activities. These resources are not meant to replace homework assigned by teachers, but meant to complement that work.
Welcome! We're happy you're here to learn with us.

"Dinosaur Yoga"
Written by Mariam Gates
Illustrated by Matthew Rivera
The latest yoga picture book from bestselling author Mariam Gates introduces children to the joys and benefits of yoga―through dinosaurs! Triceratops, Pterodactyl, T-Rex, and others learn to bend, stretch, and breathe through a yoga flow. Instead of being sad, mad, or frustrated when things aren’t going their way, the dinosaurs practice yoga to feel better.
Twice-Baked Potatoes Kids Love
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 large baking potatoes (8 to 10 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
- 1 small head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized pieces (about 3 cups)
- 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
- 1/3 cup fat-free (skim) milk
- 1 cup low-fat sour cream
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 4 green onions, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
- ¼ cup bacon flavor bits or chips
- Heat oven to 400°F. Gently scrub potatoes, but do not peel. Pierce potatoes several times with a fork to allow steam to escape while potatoes bake.
- Brush lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Bake on ungreased baking sheet for 1 hour or until potatoes are tender when pierced in center with a fork. Let stand until cool enough to handle.
- Meanwhile, place cauliflower in microwave safe bowl, and microwave, 5 to 8 minutes or until tender.
- Cut each potato lengthwise in half; scoop out potatoes leaving a thin shell. Place insides from 2 potatoes in bowl of food processor or blender. Place remaining 2 potato insides aside for another use (tomorrow’s dinner!) Mix in cauliflower melted butter, milk, sour cream and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Blend until smooth.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese and black pepper to taste. Spoon filling back into the potato skins and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
- Place filled potatoes in greased 9x13-inch pan. Bake an additional 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and filling is hot.
- Sprinkle green onions and bacon bits over the top and serve.
