This Week on Purple Day: Sunday Bread

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 autumn songs and poems and then hear a story about a baker whose bread dough rises so much it goes out the top of his chimney! 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. 

During circle time, we learn seasonal songs and poems together. This week, we learn new lines and words to our poems, making our circle time slightly longer than last week. We also practice a mindful breathing exercise. This month, we are learning Faucet Breathing.

After circle time, we hear a story together. We hear a pedagogical or teaching tale the second week of each month. These stories address an upcoming change, difficult event, or challenging behavior. Today, we hear the story of Sunday Bread. This story is a silly way to start a weekly bread-baking rhythm. In this story, a baker’s bread dough rises so much that it fills his house and comes out the top of his chimney!
