This Week on Purple Day: Little Mouse’s New House

Purple Day is a podcast from Storytime in the Schoolhouse. Our Purple Day podcasts are the audio from Storytime’s Monday episodes. Please note: Storytime is written and recorded for the screen. Some elements of Storytime will transfer better than others.

In this week's episode of Purple Day, we will sing songs about pumpkins and lanterns and then hear a story about a little mouse who moves to a new house. This Storytime episode will teach you and your child seasonal songs, poems, fingerplays, and a nature-based story. Enjoy Storytime with your child and deepen your connection to each other and the world around you.

Every Purple Day, or Monday, we are inside the schoolhouse for circle time and storytime. 

We enjoy singing and reciting nature-based, seasonal songs and poems during circle time. As the month progresses, we learn new song and poem verses. We also practice a deep breathing exercise on Mondays.

After circle time, we hear a story together. This week, we hear a pedagogical or teaching tale. Today, we hear the story of a little mouse who moves to a new house. Little Mouse’s family is moving to a new house, and Little Mouse is worried! He is worried he won't see his toys or things ever again, and he is worried he will never love a house as much as this one. 

Even though moving is hard and scary, Little Mouse learns it can be exciting. He finds all his toys and belongings waiting in boxes at his new house. And, with some time, he learns to love his new house as much as his old one.
