Our teachers are on strike. The "official" first day of kindergarten was today. It did not happen and i have no idea when it will occur. I'm not expecting anytime soon. For the last few weeks, we've been prepping Mina with the strong possibility that school would not start as hoped. We stopped the countdown to kindergarten and cautioned everything with tentative statements.
So now, i'm just wondering and waiting. Thankfully, the weather outside is nice, and we are able to easily just continue our daily routines. This morning, when i went out for my morning walk, there was a banner across the school sign. The banner said, "We love our teachers". Later in the morning, we saw our teachers, walking around with picket signs, waving back at us as we drove by, to meet a friend at the park.
We are ready for Kindergarten - but until then, we'll savour the sun and togetherness.
