🎉 You got them all. That is exactly how we travel.
1Before We Go
Being ready is not only about what is in your bag. It is knowing where you are going, who you are with, and getting the small things done before you walk out the door.
I am ready to go:
My bag is zipped and on my shoulder
I have used the bathroom
I know where we are going today
I know which teacher I am with
My phone is on silent and put away
