Schedule Expectations (When are we available to work together and individually?):
  4-6 after school, flexible staying later if we need to. 
  Sally has commitments every other Monday at 7 pm, Wednesday's 3:30-4:00. 
  Both will get to school by 8 and can check-in then if needed.

Communication Expectations (How and often will we communicate? How do we keep lines of communication open?):
  Communicate via Slack & text... every day! If a commitment or otherwise comes up that interrupts our plans we will let the 
  other know ASAP. 

Abilities Expectations (Technical strengths and areas for desired improvement):
  Whitney: HTML & CSS are my strengths, I want to improve in JavaScript and my ability to teach myself things I don't know. 
  Sally: Same!

Workload Expectations (What features do we each want to work on?):
  We'd like to work on this together as much as possible - driver & navigator approach so that we both understand what code has been 
  written and why. 
  We'll take poms every 20-30 minutes and trade out who's "driving" after the pom. 
  
Workflow Expectations (Git workflow/Tools/Code Review/Reviewing Pull Requests):
  We both aren't sure how to use Git to collaborate yet, so until we have our lesson on it Wednesday we will teach ourselves! 

Expectations for giving and receiving feedback:
  Open to feedback both code-wise and in regards to the ways we are collaborating, ensuring we both comment on each others strengths
  while bringing up places of improvement.

Agenda to discuss project launch:
  1. Create GitHub repo & push our project to that repo 
  2. Draw our outline for the site 
  3. Write HTML for all structures of the site 
  4. Style with CSS 
  5. Make the site dynamic with JavaScript 

Ideas:
  Driver & navigator approach 

Tools:
  Use Jon Duckett books to write our JavaScript 

Additional Notes:
  Stoked! Hoorah!! 

This looks like a good start with figuring out specifics on your expectations. I especially like the agenda you laid out for starting the project. Nice work!
