*A Camera (if possible)

Lions, Tigers, and Bears...OH MY! ...and dinosaurs, and elephants, and ...
Hey GT students! (plus parents and guardians!)
Its FIELD TRIP TIME!!!..well...almost.
We are heading to the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. for our Saturday, Dec. 13 class to do some drawings of wacky sights in a location other than our usual, boring, white-walled classroom. If time allows, we can possibly head over to the National Gallery of Art for some more inspiration.
View the Field Trip form below, print it, then sign and return it to us if you plan on attending our field trip.
NOTE: The field trip DOES count as one of our regular classes, as we will be using what we see/draw/photograph for a later assignment. Therefore, as with every class, it is important for you to attend (and you should, because it will be EXTRA fun since we are in a cool setting!)
In order to read the Field Trip form online: Read through all directions before actually doing them!
1) Click on the small square located on the far right of the "Scribd" toolbar. (When you do this, the class website screen will go away, and you will be looking at a gray screen with a larger version of the Field Trip form.)
2) When you get to the light gray screen, you can enlarge or shrink the Field Trip form by clicking on the "plus" (+) and minus (-) symbols at the top-right of the page.
3) To get back to the class website page, click on the "X" located at the far top right of the page.
To print the Field Trip form:
Click on the drop-down box of the "iPaper" icon located at the top left of the "Scribd" toolbar. When the drop-down menu appears, click "Print" to print the form.
