Thank you all for the advice. I really appreciate it.
We have been giving the classroom teacher a lot of positive feedback. I do respond to all of her emails with thank yous and how much we appreciate her work. I also called her a week into all the additions and thanked her for all that she is doing and told her how much we appreciate it and wanted to let her know that if she needed any extra materials I would be happy to buy them. I do not want her to think that in any way we feel she isn't doing what she is supposed to so I will include more positive notes about the teacher in my letter to the coordinator.
I just feel as a whole this method is great for now b/c the grade skip isn't an option no matter what this late in the year. For next year I still feel she will benefit more when the teacher doesn't have to provide as much differentiation and the kids will be working more at dd's levl...as St. Pauli girl said
