“Your catalog is my favorite one for sources of activities that will really work in the classroom. Each time I get an issue I hurry to look through it to see what new things are being offered. Being near a university town, I have had many student teachers. At the end of their time, I always try to send them off with one of your catalogs. I emphasize to them that this catalog is one for them to find a wealth of information that works in the ‘real’ classroom.” — Joan Endicott, 7th Grade English Teacher, Perry Middle School, Perry, Oklahoma
