How to Order!
First, you will need to order the Parent Teacher Catalog from us. Then, fill out the “SOS for Schools” order form. Use a separate order form for each catalog and please note the catalog name and issue date for us. Thanks! We appreciate your help with that!!

FBC’s ‘Parent-Teacher Catalog Packet’ usually contains three catalogs. The available Catalogs are as follows below. Please allow us to choose three of them for you.

Parent Teacher Catalog Packet
We're sure these products in FBC’s ‘Parent-Teacher Catalog Packet’ (5-13126: 400 yen from the Learning Center) will not only enrich your classroom activities, but will also help parents who are teaching and helping their children at home. You can turn any room into an exciting, colorful learning environment and make lessons into playtime and help any child have more fun with you! Chuck and the rest of us on the team have chosen catalogs from US companies which represent some of the best teaching material currently available, and we have worked well with these suppliers over the last few years.

The catalog packets are:
1. Trend
More than 1,000 products are available such as charts, card games, activity books, stickers which are developed for children ages 3-13. Also effective for learners with special needs, or for people learning English as a second language.

2. CTP (Creative Teaching Press)
Includes books, charts, puzzles, rewards, and decorative products at the elementary and middle-school level. World wide famous Dr Maggie’s phonics and “Learn to Read” series from CTP are always one of the most popular resource books for classroom and home.

3. McGraw-Hill Children’s Publishing
More than 6,000 products are available to help educate children for K-12. McGraw has recently added a wide array of items from Frank Schaffer Publications and Instructional Fair Group to their current list such as Ideal School Supply, Good Apple, Totline Pub. and Peter Bedrick Books.

4. Discount School Supply
One of the most popular suppliers for Arts & Crafts materials. The huge US school supply wholesaler updates its catalog 4 times a year and updates the retail price on its website everyday! Biocolor, paint accessories, block play, LEGO, furniture for infants and children, and lots of teacher’s resources are available!
