Everyday, I call my students' names one by one to check if they are prepared for the class. In my class, being prepared means that one has brought the following six things:
A pen or pencil
Notebook (for journal)
Binder
English folder
Reading book
School planner
As I left the apartment this morning, I congratulated myself on being "prepared" for the day in my own way. For me, "prepared" means the following:
I have eaten breakfast and read my scriptures.
I have a homemade lunch in my hand.
I'm leaving early enough to get to school by about 7:15, but 7:30 at the latest.
I know what I'm teaching that day, and maybe even the next.
There's a skateboard and palm guards in the back of the car.
I have a bag of extra, casual clothes that I can skateboard in just in case I don't go home before having adventures after school.
Spontaneity seems to take more preparation these days.

I believe my favorite part is that you have a skateboard. It'd be even more awesome if you rotated what was hidden in your trunk (sled, unicycle, etc.)
Way to be prepared!

You're learning to be a good scout!
Maybe preparation is the fine line between random and improvised.
