[MOSAIC] suzanne & everyday math

Renee,

my district just adopted EM .   I would love to slow down and supplement with 
other things but we were told in no uncertain terms that we may not do that.  
 We have a consultant who meets with us once a month for PD and makes sure 
that we follow the program exactly each day regardless of how the children are 
doing.   It kills me but I don't have a choice so please refrain from 
criticizing individual teachers.

Thanks
Cami
