Sukkah Building(Day 16)

1. What did you do today ?

Today I helped to bring a whiteboard and plywood and milk carton letters(as part of decoration) to where our Sukkah is being put up. I did this by carrying the board and plywood and milk carton letters with other classmates to get it to wher it needed to go. After that, I put up the fourth(and final) wall. I did this by lifting the wall(with other classmates) and then lining it up to two other walls so that it can get connected with the other walls. Then, other classmates connected the fourth wall to the other walls. I also helped to connect the window to our wall. I did this by holding the window in place(so it wouldnt move), meanwhile groupmates connected the window.

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? 

At first, I was scared about carrying heavy things(such as walls) because I didnt want them to fall on anyone. Today, I faced that fear by carrying a wall and very heavy whiteboard(with classmates help). At first, due to poor communication, we all dropped the object(when we were not supposed to) and by accident hurt a group member. This was because we did not do a good job of notifying them of what was going on. We all apologized and from then on learned that we needed to count down from 3-2-1 until we dropped the object so everyone was prepared and no one got hurt.
