One wall completely done! We completely finished putting together our first (albeit easiest) wall. It is a wall of simple construction, but it got done. The best part about finishing this wall is that all three group members have since split up to join and help the other three groups.
Everyone is now on the part of installing their studs. Our two sloped walls are measuring and cutting their studs, at a 10 degree angle, before installing them. Our other wall is in the process of making their door frame for their wall…a nice 6 foot tall section, approximately 4 feet wide.
moving our finished wall to the side…it honestly is a team effort (and make sure when dropping the wall, you move your feet out of the way)
our stack of studs to cut at a 10 degree angle
starting to frame out for our doorway
lifting our wall so we can free up our studs to measure and cut
each stud has to be labeled, measured, numbered, and double checked
our last slanted wall having the top plate installed
the footer of our wall with the door finally being put in place
it really takes a team to hammer in nails
amazing team effort to lay, measure, and mark the studs
our door wall is almost done!
Watching the 7th graders plan, collaborate and construct the sukkah is so cool to watch. Students work so well together and problem solve with empathy and wonder!
It is tough for them to see the growth from up close, but hopefully their blog journals are able to showcase some of that growth over time.
