Color Day at school
The last day of school at Kids University is like many other
last days at schools all over the world: excited teachers, and very excited
children.
Lots of distracted students enamored over the guy in the back of the room with the camera. Anytime we wandered into a new classroom, teachers were always keen to let their students flash a smile or two for the camera, and encourage their students to say hello to us. Following a brief exchange and maybe answering one or two questions, it was back to being a student in class.
The powerful eyes of curiosity and wonder.
Aware there we some unique visitors that would be visiting the school on the last day, the nursery school and kindergarten teachers organized an awesome event for us to see first hand.

“Color Day” often takes place before the last day of school, however we have a hunch the teachers postponed the celebration a few extra days, for us to enjoy with them. Once again, pictures show the evidence (and the cuteness) much better than words can attempt to do.
An amazing Dr. Seuss inspired blue umbrella, one of our favorite props of the day.
Lots of yellow items to share about, our friend on the right is very excited to be on stage!
Someone is EXTRA excited to be in a photo!!

One of ou favorite pieces of classroom inspiration while visiting schools throughout Pakistan. As we did a school tour during Color Day, this caught our eye.
Although the sound quality is not spectacular, the videos below are worth watching, especially if you think young children are pretty awesome… it is truly amazing how 4 and 5 year olds can steal the show and leave adults feeling blown away sometimes!
