[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You speak Spanish to the kids who speak Spanish?[/quote] I'm not OP but I'm an ESOL teacher, and what OP probably means is that when we get a student who only speaks Spanish, there are plenty of students willing to help out and translate. They can explain things like how the lunch system works, what to do if you're hurt or feel sick, what to do in a fire drill, how to check out a book from the media center etc. There's also Google translate in a pinch. When no one else in the building speaks a child's language and the child doesn't understand any English, it's important to have some way to communicate especially at first when the child is terrified and confused. OP is trying to make sure she has a way to communicate with this child. [/quote]
