Even though there is only three weeks of school left, I am still getting new arrivals. We have gotten five in the past couple of weeks. I now have three very distinct groups in my beginning ESL class. The bottom level know only a handful of words. The middle group arrived toward the begging of the year, and the top group arrived last year.

I am going crazy. I only have them for 43 minutes 97th- 11th graders). While I am working with one group, nothing hardly is getting done, in the other. The new students are so needy, most having only 3-4 years of schooling.

I feel like I am ignoring the upper level kids. I give them work to do, and work with them for a ten minutes or so. THey rush through the work and then want to sit and talk.

I need suggestions.
