  Case: SPEAK ENGLISH!
I am a Kindergarden teacher that has a big group of hispanic students in the classroom. Many of them do not know how to speak English and thus makes it very complicated and frustrating to communicate. What is even worse, is that these students tend to speak Spanish when they are amongst themselves. Clearly, as a teacher I want them to be able to Participate, however, I am not sure whether or not I should separate them and forcé them to leave their native tongue at home.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I can see how it would be frustrating not being able to communicate with your Spanish speaking students. I would not separate the students from each other. I would suggest having a lesson on speaking Spanish. You could have one of those students teach the class a new word or two a day. This would allow the other students to learn the Spanish language just like they are having to learn the English language. Once the students feel like they are a part of the class they will more than likely open up to you.
