Here is how the project went:

Through this project I/we learned:

Through this project students learned how to communicate and work together.

What I/we might change:

My/our favorite part of this project was:

Seeing the finished project. It is still not hung up outside yet, but will be soon.

Some tips, tricks or fun facts about the project:

Creating a plan before we started the project and finding the right people to help us out. We relied on parent involvement to complete the project.
