Westside 4-H club talked about this last night!
One of our facts was about Leontyne Price - we have a lot of youngsters so there was some good signing by others to try and explain what opera was 😁
We also talked about how history is not always hundreds of years ago, but people we all know were alive during many events.

There is a whole list of people you may not have heard of - maybe it will plant the seed for a great investigative project!

Kitty Revolution provided some great feline viewing today. We saw cats, shopped for our pretend pets, saw cats getting their claws trimmed, picked out climbing posts that we would like to try out, visited the cats again, and told some pretty great cat jokes to people!
