  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!)
Although it may be very frustrating, I don't think it would be a good idea to force them to stop using their native language. They are kindergarten age students and communicating with peers, whether it be in English or Spanish, is so important for their development at this age. I would suggest reaching out to the ESOL teacher for advice.
