Readers Workshop: In Reader’s Workshop we are doing something called super magazine. My favorite page is page 20 it is called sunny side up. On the page it tells you ho to do a little prank. Here is how you do it: You will need vanilla yogurt, a colorful plate & a spoon, canned peach halves, paper towel and toast. This is what you do: You put a few spoonfuls of yogurt on the plate. Then you smooth out the yogurt. It should look like an egg white. Dry one peach half with a paper towel. Put the peach half with the cut side down on the egg white. Then set toast on the plate next to the egg and see who you can fool!
