I have contacted my host family sent them pictures of me and my family and have found out quiet a bit about them. They live 40 minutes from Dublin and a 15 minute walk from Greystones where I will be student teaching.
Muriel is the person I am making contact with. There are 5 in the family, Alistair is her husband and 3 children, Kenneth 22, Alyson 19 and Alexander 15. Kenneth and Alyson are both in college at University College Dublin. Alexander is in France doing an abroad program and will return at the end of November. Alistair, Kenneth and Alyson work at a sailing school on the coast.
They have given me information on transportation like the Paddy Wagon to visit all over Ireland and also Ryanair an airline company that you can get flights including everything sometimes for 20€ to most places in Europe for weekend trips. They have given me a phone number to call them on and email addresses to contact the family.
I have also contacted the school and principal I will be with. I gave them information about me and only thing she said back was thanks for contacting us and they are looking forward to having me with them and sharing skills. Catherine Sadlier is the principal.
