The Ultimate Field Trip Checklist for Teachers

It is field trip day. Bags are packed, students are on the bus, in their assigned seats, and you realize you forgot to turn in the lunch request forms.

Yikes! Suddenly, all you begin to see is the visualization of the clock striking 12:00 p.m. and the soon-to-be faces of hangry teenagers. The regrets of not just making the checklist you spent more time contemplating making, than actually making, have begun.
