Azriel Shraga's מסיבת סוף שנה

Actual Date: 5/22/2012

Azriel Shraga has been looking forward to his מסיבת סוף שנה for weeks - he's been complaining that the time is passing by so slowly...but B"H the big day finally arrived.

His גננות prepared quite a presentation- and since it's right before Shauvos, the theme was תורה.  They started off with a "הכנסת ספר תורה" procession- some boys carrying "candles" while holding on to a rope, some holding up a "chuppah" with others holding ספרי תורה underneath...and to lead the procession, they decorated a Little Tikes Cozy Coupe as a Sefer Torah truck!  It was adorable!

After that they had lots of songs with motions (a few too many in my opinion...some of the boys- and Mommies too- were getting kind of restless) including a song/skit about Rabbi Akiva sitting with the shepards (Azriel Shraga was one of the shepards...see below) and how he saw the water making a hole in the stone, and ended up becoming the Gadol Hador. 

It was really very cute, and Azriel Shraga was into it the whole time- watching his Morah to make sure he was doing the right hand motions...I barely got a smile out of him the whole time because he was so busy concentrating on performing!
 
(For those of you who don't know, מסיבת סוף שנה is the equivalent of a nursery graduation...but they don't always do it at the very end of the year...Azriel Shraga doesn't finish until Tisha B'Av, and yet his party was on Rosh Chodesh Sivan!)
