Click HERE to go to the site with Interactive Notebook ideas. Idea to add a table of contents to a notebook for easy finding?Use a picture that is relevant to your class to activate prior knowledge. Display the picture and have students give 5 observations, inferences, and predictions based on the picture. This can lead to them sharing some knowledge they already have about the topic that is about to be presented. Plus, they work on their writing skills.

Hello Literacy Blog This is a great resource for all things literacy. Full of great ideas and many links to other sources.
Remind101.com is a great site that you can have parents sign up and receive text messages from you, without divulging any phone numbers. Students and parents can receive reminders from you about test, projects, assignments, etc... It is VERY easy to use. There are very few directions on the page making it quick and easy. There is also a pdf that you can download for the directions so that you don't have to type up something if you don't want too.
