This Week on Purple Day
Every Purple Day, or Monday, we are inside the schoolhouse for circle time and storytime.
During circle time we enjoy singing and reciting nature-based, seasonal songs and poems. As the month progresses, we continue to learn new verses to our songs and poems. We also practice a deep breathing exercise on Mondays. This month we are learning Hand Breathing.
After circle time, we hear a story together. We listen to nature stories and folk tales during the third and fourth weeks of the month. Today we hear a Valentine’s Day story: The Baker of Heart Island. The Baker of Heart Island makes special cakes every Valentine’s Day. These special cakes were said to bring happiness to all who ate them. The father and his three children travel to Heart Island to see if the cakes will bring the younger sister happiness.

Every Yellow Day, or Wednesday, we are outside for Storytime and we go on a field trip to see someone in the community or visit a new place. This week we visit an authentic German bakery in the USA. How many gnomes can you find during our visit?!
