First Day of Hebrew School -- Samuel

Turning 5 and starting public school brings a whole bunch of first experiences with it.  In addition to starting kindergarten and starting organized sports, Samuel also started Religious School this year.  Instead of hanging out with Torah for Tots, he has now graduated into the big kid realm of religious training.  Luckily, as you might see in the picture below, bagels and cream cheese is part and parcel of the deal.
 The first day of Hebrew School was held at Mitchell Park in Palo Palo Alto.  The kids played games, ate bagels, and started to learn each others names.  In these pictures, Samuel is sitting with the other kids in his Hebrew School class, and his teacher, Morah Leah.  His class has since added three girls to the mix, two of them twins, but he started out on this first day with all boys. 
2007 seems to have been a very boy heavy year.  Only one out of the four kindergarten classes at Samuel's school, is, in Samuel's words, "packed with girls."
