IN THEIR OWN WORDS... 

"I like school because I like to see her friends and to learn." 

on her favorite subject:  "Math is my favorite subject because I like numbers." 
on her hobbies: "I like to play 'balle koup' with my friends." 
('Balle koup' is a Khmer game similar to baseball where the children throw a ball and try to run around bases.) 
on when she grows up: "When I grow up, I want to be a teacher."

on her new school building:
"I really like my new school."
