@LPlanck910 Thank you! We needed some reading suggestions for summer!

[Katie @ksfitzpatrick1]

@LPlanck910 My girls reported that it was “so fun”. Thanks for facilitating fun and memorable learning experiences for them!

[Katie @ksfitzpatrick1]

@LPlanck910 Lots of Land of Stories over here! Ellie’s first time through, Claire is re-reading.

@CEJRyanMcMahon @OnondagaCounty With so many school quarantines right now, has any thought been given to allowing a “test to stay” approach to minimize the interruptions to learning?

[Katie @ksfitzpatrick1]

@UnfilteredTru @YaelZeira @CEJRyanMcMahon @OnondagaCounty Agreed. My neighbor’s kid across the street is also supposed to be quarantined due to school exposure. They aren’t even pretending to try to comply with the quarantine—just keeping the kid out of school. It does nothing to prevent spread if she’s still playing with other kids.

[Katie @ksfitzpatrick1]

@CuseWaterBoy @YaelZeira @Lesmitchell19 @CEJRyanMcMahon @OnondagaCounty Yup. By the time quarantine is over, she will have missed 8 days of school in the first month. This kind of thing is also causing harm to kids.

@crzycougar1 @CEJRyanMcMahon @OnondagaCounty Our ped recommended the ER trip if Wellnow couldn’t take her, because they are so overrun with kids needing tests. If we want kids in school, we need capacity to test them when the get sick (as kids in school often do).

[Katie @ksfitzpatrick1]

@crzycougar1 @CEJRyanMcMahon @OnondagaCounty Upstate at Water St is booked for days. Wound up at the ER Monday night with a sick kid with high fever and extreme fatigue because her pediatrician, Wellnow and Upstate all had at LEAST a 2-3 day wait. It was most definitely not an emergency, but she did need prompt care.

[Katie @ksfitzpatrick1]

@CEJRyanMcMahon Are there plans to increase testing capacity? Many test sites (including Upstate) have 2 day wait times to get in for a test right now.

@LPlanck910 @MrsKowalski3 @MVail23 I heard all about it as soon as she hopped in the car today! Thanks for making it so fun for them!

[Katie @ksfitzpatrick1]

@ameliaboone As a mom of two Girl Scouts, thank you!!! 👏 👏 👏

[Katie @ksfitzpatrick1]

@MVail23 @MrsKowalski3 Sorry Claire missed it! We had an unexpected family thing come up. Sounds like it was great!

[Katie @ksfitzpatrick1]

@LPlanck910 The Rainbow Magic fairy books. All day. Every day. 😂 Trying to get them to branch out a little!

[Katie @ksfitzpatrick1]

@LPlanck910 Thank you for your help getting her going! She was a happy girl today with new books to read!

[Katie @ksfitzpatrick1]

@missklymkow You did an amazing job last year of balancing academics with play! Ellie for sure had a magical year...she wishes she could have you for a teacher again this year!

[Katie @ksfitzpatrick1]

@missklymkow Thank you for such a great kindergarten year!
