  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!)
In my opinion, the students' home language should be embraced within your classroom. I'm sure you have students that speak English, so why don't you use the Spanish speakers as an instructional tool? Also, use this as a challenge to yourself and don't just give up. This is a time you could go and learn the basics of the Spanish language or even make it a larger challenge to learn the language fluently. There are some great programs, such as Rosettastone and Duolingo, that can help you in this endeavor.
