"June 4, 2001
Today is the fourth day of June. Let's count to four: 1, 2, 3, 4. I will hold up four fingers. Let's count them. Let's count four of your fingers!"
Look outside together.
"Let's look outside & see what the weather looks like.
It is very rainy outside today. The raindrops are falling down very quickly. Let's listen to the rain. It sounds nice to me. It makes its own music. Listen to the sound my fingers make when I tap them on the table. It sounds a little bit like the rain song. Can you tap your fingers on the table? Does that sound a little bit like the rain?"

"Let's look at the picture. There is a caterpillar. It looks happy. Let's read about the picture. ...
Today is Carmine the caterpillar's birthday! That may be why the caterpillar looks so happy!
Let's sing "Happy Birthday" to the caterpillar. Now, let's sing Happy Birthday to each other. It is a fun song, even when it isn't our birthday!Let's draw a party hat on Carmine!"
