I am only in my second year teaching and I’ve just received a student who has only been in the country for 5 days. He only speaks Spanish. How do I accommodate this student? I don’t know what materials to give or what aids to give them. There are three Spanish speakers in his class that I have him seated next to, but I know that can’t cover everything I have to do to help him. How do I even get grades for him if he can’t read or write in English? I know I can possibly get resources in Spanish. I just won’t know if they’re good or useful. I am in contact with the ELL teacher, but all she said is she can give my work to a translator. That just feels like a lot of extra steps and a long waiting game. I really want to make him feel welcome and not have him feel overwhelmed as much as possible. I know this is a scary change for a child. Any advice will be appreciated.
