This Week on Purple Day: Grandpa Ivy & the Windy Day
In this week's episode of Purple Day, you and your child will learn spring circle time songs and enjoy a nature-based story about a windy day.
Story: Grandpa Ivy & the Windy Day, by Becca Lane
It was a windy spring day in Riverbend, and Grandpa Ivy stood on his porch watching the wind blow to and fro. While he was standing there, the wind took his hat right off the top of his head! In this silly story, Grandpa Ivy and his neighbor, Dante, chase his hat as the wind blows it here, there, and everywhere!
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. We start a new circle time at the beginning of the month, slowly learning the songs and poems together throughout the month. We also practice a deep breathing exercise on Mondays. This month we are learning wind breathing.
After circle time, we listen to a story together. Ms. Becca tells us a Grandpa Ivy story the first week of each month. This week we hear the story of Grandpa Ivy & the Windy Day. In this silly story, Grandpa Ivy chases his hat all over his yard as the wind blows here and there.
