The Child Development Cooperative

We have winter! We never have winter.

Being a teacher in Louisiana poses some interesting challenges when it comes to concepts like snow, winter, and even changing seasons. We have hot, hotter, and “ooh remember that cool day in November” weather. Well, this year it has been easy! I actually asked my kids and they have seen snow, with their own eyes, not just on TV or in a book! We went outside this week at the Co-op and some of our toys had frozen water inside! They threw ice and let it break all over. We talked about mittens, and some kids not only owned a pair but were wearing some. And hot cocoa is finally appropriate.

And then…well, Louisiana isn’t used to the cold, so of course we had to close. What do you expect? It is cold out there

Luckily, we have someone special to help keep us warm. She is not only a regular at the Co-op and a local musician, but she is our very own music teacher. Ms. Dorothy, as we all call her, is someone who will get our toes a-tapping each week and warm not only our bodies, but our hearts. Check out her website, where she has a page dedicated to the songs she does each week. We love our Ms. Dorothy and know you will too. For an opportunity to experience just how great she is, you can see her on Thursdays at the Co-op. Come by for a tour or check her out this Saturday where she’ll be at Brew-Ha-Ha spreading the love from 9:30am-11. She’ll be there every every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month, so mark your calendars and stay warm with some coffee and the toasty tunes of Dorothy LeBlanc!
