Now that I'm home, I've had an opportunity to talk to Travis about what he actually DID at kindergarten. As opposed to how he was transported to and from. (Though for full disclosure, Rich claims he did ask Travis what he did, and didn't get any answers.)
After Dad left, Travis read books "while the teacher did work," had calendar and circle time, and did "free play" (he reports he played legos and housekeeping, by himself and with friends). Next came art (they drew pictures of themselves, likely for a developmental assessment. Hopefully Travis remembered not to do such an anatomically detailed version!). Finally they had recess, which I think was the highlight of his day, because he reported that he played soccer with FIRST AND SECOND GRADERS! Group sports is a new thing for Travis; it would be interesting to know how it went. He reported that he made "9,082" new friends (those must be the first and second graders, since only 6 kids came to kindergarten today). They ended the morning with lunch, and Travis was excited that I had put some gummies in his lunch box for a surprise.
All in all, it seems to us (the adults) that they didn't really do a whole lot, but he was happy and quite pleased with himself. Monday he will ride the school bus to daycare after school, and we're a little nervous about that given all the busing issues that have happened this week. But that's another story.
And for the record, Mom ALSO rode her bike to school today. My school is about 1/2 mile east of Travis', so I have the same elevation graph. But instead of kids, I hauled home two bags of books and the school laptop.
