The Mitten

The Purple Day Podcast is the audio from our Monday episodes of Storytime in the Schoolhouse. Please note: Storytime is written and recorded for the screen. Some elements of Storytime will transfer better than others. 

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 continue to learn new verses to 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 The Mitten. In this Russian tale, an old man walks in the woods and drops his mitten while hiking, leaving it on the forest floor. One by one, animals in the forest find the mittens and climb inside, until the mitten is full of animals!
