Student Spotlight- The 5th Grade Girls

This is Hila.  I absolutely adore her, if you can't tell by the way we are hugging one another.  She is 10 years old and is almost as tall as me!!  I recently found out that her name translates to Halo.  I told her that when I grow up and have a child I am going to name it Halo after her.  She blushes whenever I remind her of this.  She constantly makes me laugh, with her expressive personality.  Sometimes I walk her home because her house is on the way to mine.

This is my little sweetpea Uval!!!  She is the ittiest bittiest little thing!  The teacher says we look alike because we are both petite and have big eyes.  She is very silly.  Whenever she is bored in class she will make funny faces at me.  I have to turn my head because if I don't I will start to laugh.  

This is Lir.  She loves American music.  Whenever she sees me she runs up and sings Katy Perry "I Kissed a Girl and I Liked it," or Beyonce "All the Single Ladies."  She likes to pretend that she has a twin sister named Talia.  Some days I call her Lir, and she tells me she is not Lir, she is Talia; and that Lir is sick at home.  Lol.  She likes to hold my hand and walk with me around the playground during recess, and confide in me about her personal life.

I seriously can never get enough of my students.  They are big bundles of joy in my life.
