Creating a class book through School…
Creating a class book through School Mate Publishing is one of my favorite activities to do with my kindergarten class each year. I love that they have options for completing the books completely digitally, as well as the option to complete it and send it in via mail. The turn around time for the publishing of the book was great! The quality of the books is remarkable! I have had so many complements when sharing with colleagues and parents. Overall, a great company to work with!

Superior Quality
We switched to school mate publishing this year because of price. However, after receiving our finished books, the workmanship is far superior than our previous company. The pages are colorful and vibrant!

If Kindergarten can, you can too!
This was my 2nd time publishing a classroom book and I have learned a lot. This was also the BEST thing I have ever done with my class. I was not expecting the pages of our book to come out so professional looking. I loved the number stickers for the bottom of the pages in case there was a mess up. I loved that I was able to print extra pages from online when I made mistakes. I absolutely can NOT wait to do this again next year!
