I understand your frustration completely. I teach a 1st grade bilingual class in the U.S. and 1st graders are at an interesting age. One thing to always remember is to have a way for them to know when you want their attention. I clap or count down. When I am teaching them ESL, movement on my part and their part is necisary. For instance, I am teaching them about communities now. I first show them an example using a student. Then I have them copy me and lastly I have them act what I'm teaching them to eachother. They can become a wild bunch so always limit their time. I hope that helps.
