It is raining, and the children cannot go outside. The teacher, Ms. Park, sees sad faces.
"We will make boats," she says. She is good at turning a rainy day into a game.
She gives everyone paper. Some children need help. Ms. Park is patient and kind.
One boy is too shy to ask. She is considerate and sits beside him. Together, they fold a small boat.
The children put their boats in a bowl of water. The boats float and bump together.
The room is full of laughter. Ms. Park smiles. She did not stop the rain, but she made the day warm.
A thought to keep
A kind teacher can turn rain into play.
