Summer is my planning time.  I write lesson plans for my classes, prepare material and make resources.  During the school year, I get so busy with the work of teaching and grading that it becomes difficult to sit down and come up with creative/effective lesson plans.  

Of course, the plans I make is summer are in no means written is stone! I will adjust during the year depending on my students and from time to time I come across a lesson that sounds GREAT in the summer time, but when I'm teaching the lesson in November it bombs... summer sometimes turns me into a wishful thinker in this way.  But basiclly I like to think of the lessons that I make in the summer as the base of a soup and during the year I make adjustments, reflect on lessons and keep notes about how the lesson went.

I do attend one or two summer workshops, but wont this year due to health issues:(

However, I did come across this workshop that looks interesting (see information below):
