Grammar Girl is a great resource for your classroom. Her emails and podcasts are succinct little nuggets of grammar greatness. One idea is to play one of her podcasts for your students while teaching them to take notes. This practice engages the students in the task of practicing their note-taking skills while brushing up a few grammar tidbits.
Her site (http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/ ) has archives of podcasts, etc. and is really easy to use. You can also sign up to receive daily tips through your email.
Here is a link to a free download of the first chapter of Grammar Girl's new book, The Grammar Devotional: http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/static/GrammarDevotional/Week1.pdf
