Dear Carol,

At Middlebury Union Middle School, that is exactly what we did.  We have had 
the program for six years and only in the last couple of years have we been 
able to incorporate a few of the 8th grade units.  It has worked well for 
us.  The one thing  that you also need to address is the  Vermont State 
GE's.  You might have to include a unit on areas that are not addressed by 
CMP in the 7th grade units.  Barbara Unger
