Erin asks the group:
Ben,
I have a question I’d like to ask the group. I’ll be missing the last 5 weeks of school this spring (if not longer) to have my first baby. What on earth can I leave for my Spanish students that will do the least harm? My department head was out on maternity leave for the first quarter of this year, and I know that her sub was Not Good. At managing the students, at speaking the language, at anything. We haven’t started interviewing for my sub yet, but the outlook is bleak. I had visions of leaving novels for the kids to read, but I realize that I am probably overestimating what can be accomplished.
Any ideas?
Gracias!
Erin
