Yahooooooo! I finally received my school placement and my host family that I will be living with for a few weeks in Cape Town! I will be living in Brackenfell, a town northeast of Cape Town. I've tried to find out more information on the town but I'm not having much luck :-/ I did notice, however, that Brackenfell is bordered by Durbanville, the town where my relatives live!
My host mom, Hilary, is the the principal of Brooklands Primary School! She is married and has two daughters; one is married and living elsewhere and the other still lives at home. My family has never hosted anyone before so hopefully they know what they're getting themselves into with me!
As for my school placement, I was supposed to receive a teacher whose classroom I would be observing and teaching in, but apparently I get to pick my own when I get there! I do know that I will be in a 3rd grade classroom and I will be focusing mainly in math education. Yay math!!
If you go to this website https://plak.co.za/moreinfo.php?id=21951 scroll down until you see the map of the area, there will be a button "street view" right above the big map. Click on that and you can see the school I will be teaching at! *Please pay special attention to what they call speed bumps*
4 DAYS UNTIL I LEAVE!!!!
