Visit to SAM Thursday, August 6


http://www.seattleartmuseum.org/visit/visitSAM.asp
We'll join Kris and Karen's CB4 classes for a visit to the Seattle Art Museum on Thursday to view the Pacific Northwest Native American art exhibit. I'll be catching the bus leaving Broadway and Pine at about 11:15. You may meet be there OR at the museum (for directions, go to the link above), where I'll wait in the entrance lobby to give you the worksheet. You will complete the worksheet and give it to me before we leave the museum. The bus ride takes about 15 minutes and I'll plan to leave the museum at 12:25.



REMINDER TO HELEN, TESS & NICOLE: Don't forget to email your questions to me for Monday!
