Dorothy Lander Shares Letters and Pictures from Floridian First Graders!

Sharing Finger Lakes Foliage with Young Floridians turns into a Treasure of Letters and Drawings!

KristenMeyer 0 1967

Last Fall, Dorothy (Dot) Lander collected a box of colorful leaves and sent them to her daughter, Janet, who is a 1st grade teacher in Florida. Janet's students, many of whom had never been exposed to the beautiful Fingerlakes colors, responded in a most thoughtful way.  They drew pictures and composed letters. Dot was so surprised and overcome with joy when she opened the package. 

These pictures and letters have been displayed in the CM living room this week for all CM residents, staff, families and visitors to enjoy! A big thank you to Dot for sharing with all of us.  We have been in awe of the thoughful messages, the drawings, and the amazing penmanship coming from such young children.

Social Social Distancing!

What exactly does that look like?

Social social distancing..What exactly does that look like?  It's difficult to capture in pictures because we are spread so far apart, but the warmth and love of our community is stronger than ever. 

A typical day starts with a reading of the morning news in groups of 10 or less sitting far apart from one another.  Then, those who choose go to exercise class.  Today, we had two morning options; 1.) Paint class where we painted a waterfall (more to come in future blogs about our resident artists) and 2.) Reading Club where we read a few chapters from "Water for Elephants."  This afternoon, we celebrated with a Fiesta themed happy hour.  Our pinata named "Corona" didn't fare so well.  Our happy hours take place throughout the building in small gatherings where we can sit 6 feet apart.  It's up to the staff to circulate and serve refreshments.  Today, we got a little rowdy...it was a Fiesta after all! 

This is a glimpse into a typical day at Clark Meadows.  We've been social distancing for quite a while now and it has become a habit that we know is extremely important if we are to stay COVID19 free!
