HAPPY (Teacher) NEW YEAR!
The new school year is upon us - how quickly the summer goes! With the new year often comes new students, sometimes from different countries and speaking very little English. In the first days of school I come to expect the panicked "OMG what do I do this student speaks no English, help me!!" from my teachers. Here are some of my tips for helping newcomers start off the school year and also understanding differences between common languages at our school.
