Interactive Reading Journal

It's such a challenge to get my students "actively" involved in reading. Let's face it, some kids enjoy it and some don't...no matter what you do to get them interested. I love the foldables I see on the internet but I needed something a little more consistent. That's why I decided to make this interactive reading journal.

My students had a blast last year working with their new reading journals. I actually had parents call me when their child was absent asking if I could email them the templates so their son/daughter wouldn't miss out!
The interactive reading journal includes pictures of every foldable template. I included options on how to use the templates, as well as blank templates to allow your own creativity to shine through. The fact is - some of us prefer structure, and some of us prefer to do our own thing - just like our students!

Remind101 - Texting Parents & Students

Are you using Remind101? 

It's a text generator app that allows you to send reminder texts to parents without them having your number! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Who invented this?! I LOVE IT! Best of all, it's a FREE app. (If it's free...it's for me!)

Here's how it works:

Download the app and create a class for yourself. 

If you teach upper elementary/middle/high school, you can make as many classes as you want and you can use it to remind students of things.

Give out your information.

Remind101 will give you a phone number to share with parents/students. All they have to do is send a text to that number with your class name and they will automatically be enrolled in text reminders!
