About this Episode
In this week's episode of Purple Day, we will sing songs about pumpkins and lanterns and then hear a story about animals who make a home together in a clay pot that rolls off a wagon on the way to market. 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. This week, we learn the final verses to our songs and poems for this month’s circle time. 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 The Clay Pot.
About the Story
In this story, a clay pot rolls off the back of a truck on the way to market. Animals make a home inside the pot, and soon it is full of forest creatures. Then, a bear finds the pot and wants to join the animals, but there isn't any room. Despite the bear's initial upset, the animals work together to find a solution that works for everyone.
