Check out "Brightly" for a wonderful list of diverse books.
I had also found some books in Arabic in B&N, and recently I learned about "treasure bay" offering some bilinguals tittles to send home. Have fun!

What's a rule you are expected to enforce that you strongly disagree with or are indifferent to. Do you enforce it or take the risk? I move around as a tutor and am currently working with a school that has a ridiculously strict formal address policy. One of my second graders refers to me as "Miss Tutoring (my first name)" - it's about the cutest thing ever and doesn't bother me one bit. We are moderated sometimes and I'm more worried about her getting in trouble than me for not abiding.
