Also, the formatting of the flyer was bothersome and I could not seem to perfect it. In the end, the font I chose was nonexistent on Ms. Hamilton’s computer, forcing me to choose another font. I liked the result in the end. Ms. Hamilton even had a poster sized version of the flyer made and we put it up in the library. Date/Time: Activity: I talked to Ms. Hamilton about our Comment/Suggestions: 1/ 23/12 plan for the first meeting. I am glad we planned ahead for the 3:00pm- meeting versus “winging it.” 3:30pm Commentary: Ms. Hamilton and I discussed what kind of treats to bring to the first meeting.
