This Week on Purple Day

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 are learning 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 a spring equinox story of a little girl who hopes to find fresh peaches even though they aren’t growing on the trees yet. She has a heart full of hope and a pocket full of nuts she hopes to trade. Listen and see what happens.

Purple Day is a podcast from Storytime in the Schoolhouse. Our Purple Day podcast episodes are the audio from our Monday videos. Storytime Members can access five weekly videos, including puppet shows, on Thursdays and Fridays. They also have access to corresponding activities and curricula. Every Yellow Day, or Wednesday, we are outside for Storytime, and we go on a field trip to see someone in the community or visit a new place. This week we visit JP Parker Flower shop and see their beautiful collection of flowers.
