In Reading class, we’re reading the book Tales of a 4th Grade Nothing.  We learned that Peter’s father is in the advertising business and that he makes commercials.  In class, we made our own “Juicy-o” commercials in groups and voted on the BEST one.  The following commercial won… Congratulations Julia, Vince, Evan, and Michaela (and don’t worry– Julia’s head is fine!)  :)
