Sukkah Building(Day 15)

What did you do today ? 

Today some partners and I finished creating the letters(that we started yesterday) out of milk cartons. We finished this by painting the letters the colors of our school logo. We also glued milk cartons back together that came apart. Then I took a 2 by 4 outside. This is to help secure the walls while connecting them together.

What is one thing you have done so far that you were initially scared/worried about? Although, now feel more confident in after all this practice?

In the start of the process I was scared about not knowing how to connect the pieces of wood together(studs). I got more confident with this by having people explain in more detail what to do and from practice I got better. Now I can proudly say I know how to put screws and nails in a piece of wood(stud) by myself!
