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.  

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 LaQuisha & the Honeybees. LaQuisha loves flowers and loves picking flowers for her mother. She loves them so much she wants to pick them all! However, by the end of the story, LaQuisha realizes she can leave the flowers growing, still enjoy them, and share them with hundreds of honeybees.

Here is a beehive, unknown

Here is a beehive but where are the bees?
Hidden away where nobody sees.
Watch and you’ll see them come out of the hive.

One, two, three, four, five.

Here is a beehive but where are the bees?
Hidden away where nobody sees.
Watch and you’ll see them come out again.

Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
