I am just going to update what has been happening in the past few weeks. I have been working at 3 schools, Tullow Boys, Tullow Girls and Ballon National School. This week I have had a whole week teaching the Junior Infants at the Girls school (they are around Kindergarten/Prep age). They are very cute, however it has taken a few days to get used to them, they get very excited and have short concentration spans! On the weekend we went out with Karen, Danny Sio...
