October 3: Spoke with group on Blackboard to propose ideas about the focus for our after school program. We each talked about what expertise we wanted to bring to the program.

October 4: Ron looked into user friendly websites. Jeri and Angela looked at the examples Dr. Murillo gave us on-line to gain insight about the project. We also talked about themes for our after school program: our population we would serve, location, and what programs we wanted to implement.  

October 10: We had a further discussion on who we would gear our program to and where we would have the program. We each decided that we would have four components to the after school program. We would each put together our own program so the students we serve would have a choice of what area they wanted to focus on. Ron also came up with a title for our program.

October 17: Keeping in touch through email and blackboard about progress and thoughts on the after school program. We decided we would meet in person the following Tuesday to further delegate responsibilities in person.

October 20: We confirmed a date and time we could all meet to discuss our after school program. We decided to bring any information we had gathered so far to discuss progress on our own components of the after school program.

October 23: We could not meet due to the fires. The freeways were closed and we could not access our half way meeting point. We spoke on the phone, through email, and Blackboard instead. We finalized our focus for the after school program, delegated responsibilities for who would complete what, and we continued looking into creating an actual website. We also sent information to each other on what each of our own personal programs would be. Jeri decided to do the philosophy and mission statement.

October 24: We talked about floor plans and using a building verses using a school. We decided that using a school site would be better. We would not have to worry about transportation, utilities, and reproducible costs. The school district would be able to cover some of our expenses.

October 27: Touch base through email and blackboard to discuss progress and see if anyone needed help.

October 29: We found it hard to get together in person so we decided to meet in person after class on 11-7.

October 30: Angela requested a list of supplies each team member would need so she could put together the budget. She is also looking into grants for funding for the after school program. Ron set up a website for us. He emailed us the username and password so we all could access it to work on our components.

November 4: Angela clarified the information she needs for the budget from each member of the group.

November 6: Ron set up some components on the website. He emailed us and explained what he did and what still needed to be done.

November 7: Group met after class. We finalized the details of each program, finalized delegations for completing the website, talked about what still needed to be completed, and what information we still needed to complete the project. Ron showed the other group members how to get logged into the website and edit information accordingly.

November 14: Angela talked to her principal about materials and costs for the READ 180 program in order to accurately complete the budget.

November 16: Emailed each other to talk about progress and how everyone was doing with the website.

November 21: Emailed each other and touched base on how we all were doing on the project.

November 26: We all spoke on the phone, finalized details for the website, and tied up any loose ends.
