As the end of the school year fast approaches (or has already arrived outside of New York) teachers turn their focus on tying up loose ends and on final projects/exams. 

Energize the Classroom will begin its summer schedule and will only post occasional articles.  In the meantime, the website, www.edweek.org, is an excellent place to keep up to date on news, polls, and information on education topics that interest you.

Also, this summer will be the time to send in your own "energizing ideas" that you will brainstorm or finally have the time to write down.  The goal of Energize the Classroom continues to be to post and share new ideas from teachers.  Please spread the word to your colleagues! 

Enjoy your summer!
