Reflection:
The Coronavirus has affected people all over the world, including Egypt and Mexico, countries with pyramids that look somewhat like the one you just made. This is a good time to remember that people from all of the world have many similarities, including that. we are all human no matter where we are from. Write to or text a friend who is from somewhere that is different than you and wish them well during this time.
