Don't avoid anything: Classroom shyness is annoying to many people. It tends to improve with practice (as with most things, right?!). The emotional feeling is unpleasant but the reality is that you are safe and that you'll improve with more experience speaking up in class and just interacting with others. If you could find another person in class to chat with that would help. Writing down the questions can also help.
