Sukkah Day 19

1. Now that the Sukkah is finished, what would you do differently next time. Explain in at least three sentences why you think that.
Next time I would definitely make sure to make names on my stuff visible and keep it away from other people’s stuff. The reason for this is because people always took my group’s things and it would give us a lot of setbacks. A solution for this is to keep my stuff away from other people’s stuff so people can differentiate.
2. Now that the Sukkah is finished, what are you most proud of and why! Explain in at least three sentences.
I am the most proud of the frames. The reason for this is because it looks great. The reason it’s not the whole wall is because of the lack of plywood it looks really ugly in my opinion.
3. What are three pieces of advice you have for the current 6th graders as it relates to their Sukkah?
1. Make names visible
2. Check if it is your material
3. Get more than you think you need.

Sukkah Day 18

1. Explain how the Sukkah represents Judaism to you. If it does not, explain why.

I am most excited to share the frames because I think they are the best part of the entire build.
3. What aspect of the building have you felt most connected to and why?
I have felt connected to the skach because it looks really cool and very green.
4. How has building the Sukkah as a class helped grow your sense of community?
It hasn’t because it is really stressful for me.
5. When your family comes to the Sukkah on Wednesday night, what is one thing you are going to tell them about and why?
I am going to tell them about the entire process of the Sukkah because it was a very wild ride.

Sukkah Day 17

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.
Its violating that because a lot of the screws that have gone too deep and are going to be really hard to take out.

???

I have used my body by moving back and forth from the makerspace to outside to bring materials. I have also moved my body by going up the ladder and drilling in the skach.

By finishing building the sukkah because I don’t feel like the Sukkah is completely ready to have guests let in.
