here are the steps to avoid copyright! (click image to enlarge)

1. Explain how the Sukkah represents Judaism to you. If it does not, explain why.
I like how the skach has branches from different trees. I think it’s supposed to mean that we are a variety of jews.
2. What part of the Sukkah building process are you most excited to share with families/friends and why?
the decorations and paintings because i bet it would look so pretty when it’s all up (if we get there)
3. What aspect of the building have you felt most connected to and why?
probably the decorations because that involves crafts ( again, if we get there)
4. How has building the Sukkah as a class helped grow your sense of community?
I definitely learned a lot about communication. (flashback to carrying the walls)
5. When your family comes to the Sukkah on Wednesday night, what is one thing you are going to tell them about and why?

how we made the sukkah and how I helped because I bet they would be a little curious.

1. Sukkot represents impermanence (something that should not be permanent). Explain if you believe or disagree that our Sukkah, which is safely standing on its own, is violating that.
I agree because we used screws to secure our sukkah which means they will be easy to remove
2. Describe how this Sukkah project has changed your perspective (how has it changed, what has it changed about, has it changed for the better/worst).
we definitely had to change a few things due to the lack of time and materials. I think it changed for the better though because I think it will make the sukkah look cozy even though there are going to be a few holes in the wall.
3. Explain how you have used your body thus far to build this Sukkah.
my body definetly felt very tired after building.
4. How do you plan on getting guests into the Sukkah?
send an email out to parents and have a big dinner in the sukkah. maybe we could have a meal in there also as a way to say we did it
5. What are some activities you wish to do in the Sukkah?

maybe we could have a meal in there also as a way to say we did it

1. What did you do today (describe the process of what you accomplished)? – minimum of 3 complete sentences
today I helped anyone who needed help. one of the things I did was help put on the washers and nuts on carridge bolts. another thing i helped with was helping to carry the last few plywoods to our spot
2. What is one thing you have done so far you were initially scared/worried about, but now feel more confident in after all this practice? – minimum of 3 complete sentences

the main thing I was scared of the most was having the walls fall on me because that would hurt. another thing I was scared of was having the wall fall on other people because that would hurt them. I was also scared of having the whole build collapse and break because that would be a lot of hard work and money wasted
3. Give a step by step account of what you have done so far to get our Sukkah up to where it is today.

first I sat around waiting for something to help with. then, I was given a few options of what to do. finally, I chose to help with washers nuts and plywood.

here are Dylan and Oren putting in a nail

here’s bree about to put in a nail as well.

1. Today, we worked on putting in our final three studs and it felt kinda easy to do this because everyone had something to do but some nails would not cooperate.

2. An example of when I worked well with a classmate was when I helped to stand on studs and helped get materials for the group.

3. I have not much left on my Sukkah wall. I am feeling pretty good about the amount of work left.

here is Dylan getting ready to put in a nail
