This Week on Purple Day: Grandpa Ivy & the Windy Day

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 learn spring circle time songs and then hear a nature-based story about a windy day. This Storytime episode will teach you and your preschool or kindergarten 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. We start a new circle time at the beginning of the month, slowly learning the songs and poems together throughout the month. We also practice a deep breathing exercise on Mondays. This month we are learning wind breathing.

After circle time, we listen to a story together. Ms. Becca tells us a Grandpa Ivy story the first week of each month. This week we hear the story of Grandpa Ivy & the Windy Day. In this silly story, Grandpa Ivy chases his hat all over his yard as the wind blows here and there.
