Beetle boxes
Hours spent: 50+
Link to book here (clarification: the activity book was made for Micah Compton, as he was an SSN kid when the activity book was created)
The book may have some typos as we had to restructure it and change some of the text last minute. I only worked on half of the book. I did the diagram section though.
A beetle box was created
