Paraguay vs Argentina

This Wednesday a group of us ventured downtown to watch the World Cup qualifying match between Paraguay and Argentina. I've never really been much of a soccer fan and I don't know if it's just being in South America or my students or what, but I think I really like it! I doubt I'll ever play, but watching and being part of the crowd is awesome! Here are some photos from the game:

Paraguayan paraphernalia for sale on the bus...definitely bought a headband ;)

Here we go...GO PARAGUAY! (or as they say, Fuerza Albirroja!)

So, I finally 'spiced' up my classroom...thought I'd share some photos!

The stars that now decorate my room and my shoe rack organizer....thanks Chaya!

More stars and jazzed up bulletin board














Close up of the 'no name' bulletin board....11th and 12th graders still forget quite a bit ;)



















Looking back from the white board














Other bulletin board...calendars and such!














Campus is starting to BLOOM!



















This is my favorite thing to see every morning when I arrive at school














Another beauty...
