This Week on Purple Day: Mushroom in the Rain
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 springtime songs and then hear a story about a mushroom that provides shelter for some friends during a rainstorm. This audio of our Storytime episode will teach you and your child seasonal songs, poems, and fingerplays as well as 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.
During circle time, we enjoy singing and reciting nature-based, seasonal songs and poems. As the month progresses, we learn new verses for our songs and poems. We also practice a deep breathing exercise on Mondays. This month we are learning Wind 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 the story of the Mushroom in the Rain. Animals gather under a mushroom as it rains. The more it rains, the more animals arrive, and the larger the mushroom grows!
