Lovely Penguins


Our children are so pure and kind-hearted. Though we teachers might feel so tired at times, we are very happy and glad for every day working together with our children. Every day, hundreds of “short films” are on at Sunshine Home, and all the leading roles in these films are our children. Here, I’d like to share with you an interesting story that I witnessed one day.



One day, at the end of that day’s classes, I returned to Penguins class from another class. Through the glass door, I saw the children waiting to return home. So I opened the sliding door halfway and stood in the middle of the door deliberately. The children saw me coming back and greeted me warmly as usual. But I gave them a pained look, pretending to be stuck by the door, and asked the children to help me.



Joey was the first one to react. He walked up to me, took my hand and murmured, “Heave-ho, heave-ho, pull the radish.” Then Ana and Jasmine came along and took my hand. As I was trying to take concerted action to act out the scene of a radish being pulling out, Kimi came over, pulled the door open and said, “Cindy, come in!” His look and tone still remain so fresh in my memory, haha. Kimi is so observant
