Garner and Samuel were dressed comfortably for the occasion, with her wearing black pants, a matching coat, a white t-shirt, and some reading sunglasses. She held on to a book, a folder, and a dark blue cap, with her likely getting some work done as her son spent some time learning the sport. 

Samuel wore brown sweatpants, a black t-shirt, and some comfortable-looking Crocs. Photographers captured as Samuel left class and as he practiced his lesson, with Garner sitting by him and checking on her phone. 

The two chatted as they made their way back to their car.
