Publishing a classroom book is an exciting experience for your students and deserves to be celebrated! Below are our favorite ideas for showcasing your students' hard work.

6 Ways to Celebrate

1. Complete a certificate for each of your published authors (download a FREE certificate here).
2. Host a book-signing event in conjunction with parent-teacher conferences or other school event. Have each student sign a copy of the classroom book for parents and their classmates.
3. Create a countdown of when your books will arrive. Track the shipment on a map and count the days until the books will arrive.
4. Make a video of your students reading their books (bonus tip: share it on social media with #proudandpublished and you'll be entered to win a gift card).
5. Share the book with others. Visit another classroom and have your students read their books aloud to younger students. Or, take a field trip to a local retirement home for students to share their books with residents.
6. Host a costume party. Have students dress like their book characters, then have each student read their pages aloud to the class.
