FIRST: Alex wants everyone to recommend a favorite book.

• Write a description &/or review.
• Pick a book that you haven't recommended in the past too.
• There are red "forms" but don't put your name on it. Instead put your name on a post-it so she knows who contributed.
• Deadline is May 1st (I better get busy!) js

SECOND: Science contest is over. The Prize is on the cork strip in an envelope with the child's name.
