Around mid-July, I start posting a video blog, or vlog, on the site. This leads up to the first day of school, and the goal is to build up excitement and suspense. I document everything going on at the school. I show videos of my room as it starts to come together. I share videos from meetings with the team to show how we are all in this together. I pull out books and do quick book talks to promote some of the exciting books students can borrow from my classroom library. All of these videos give students a feel for who we are. My goal is for the school to feel like a second home, and this is a small step toward meeting that goal.
