For an old school mom!
Love having this option as I am new to the world of homeschooling. Being able to scroll through physical pages makes a huge difference. The only thing that would make it better is having a separate secular and religious book or at least organized so that I dont have to flip through both. Otherwise, it has helped me a lot and I plan to continue to buy from Rainbow Resource!

Love browsing through the pages.
I'm an old fashioned gal. I really enjoy dragging the physical catalogue to the park to browse while the kids play. The symbols make it easy to find Curriculum that suits our needs and the descriptions are clear. I can turn page corners down, asterisk items and scribble notes all over the pages. Greatly prefer to online, thank you for still offering it.

Why did you choose this?
What curriculum are they using on the cover of the catalog?
"It was mostly poetry compendiums (including Random House Book of Poetry #7196) and composition books. The other poetry books open on the table were from personal collections – we did not end up using any curriculum items this year. The idea was that they were working on a poetry unit with place/destination poems and that they were brainstorming sensory words to describe a specific place." The project they are doing is actually an activity that the Schneiders did with the kids growing up and now the "kids" have been doing with their children. The link for the handout based on the poem activity they are doing on our catalog is here: https://www.rainbowresource.com/pdfs/handouts/PoetryActivity_SeaFever.pdf
To see what it was about.
Finding out what's available is always good.
We live in rural area and our internet doesn't always work, so it's nice to look through an actual catalog.
love their catalog!
