[MOSAIC] suzanne & everyday math

[HERBERT Suzanne]

Michelle when you get a chance I would love to know more.  How do the parents handle it?  What sort of support have the teachers had implementing EDM?  Do the kids like it?  Anything you can think of really would be useful to know.  Is your distrcit goign to stay with it?

Suzanne- just a quick note on Everyday Math-you can email me off  list if you 
want for more. Our district started using this program about 6 years  ago- 
I've been here 3 years- and one thing I've noticed as an intervention  teacher 
is this is the first district where we have more kids in intervention  math 
classes than reading! The teachers complain the program moves too quickly  and is 
too heavily based on reading skills. It does try to use real life  problems, 
but the computation aspect of it just flies by and the slower kids  never seem 
to catch up.  I haven't heard any of our 2-5 teachers say they  like the 
program...hope this helps in some way.
