Fun Make-over - Transforming Your Classroom For The Fun Of It

My kids have told me over and over that they wanted to send my name and picture to those make-over television shows. I finally understood what they were talking about. Kids want their surroundings to be upbeat, creative, visually appealing, modern, what they like, and fun!

When they spend most of their awake time in the classroom, and you as well, it is no wonder they respond to the environment in which they are in. How would you like your bedroom if you have to spend 7 hours (awake) each day?

Are Oil And Gas Prices Headed Higher?

According to AAA, the average nationwide gasoline price hit another all-time high a couple of weeks ago at $3.22/gallon, besting its previous record of $3.06/gallon on August 11, 2006. Some are calling for energy prices to continue to move up calling for $4/gallon gas. Well, allow me to add some fuel to the speculation fire (pun intended).

Over the last eight months, we have seen an uncharacteristic draw in energy inventories which makes a solid case for higher energy prices this summer. Before I continue, let me provide a quick primer on the nature of energy inventories and shoulder seasons.
