The Fabled Fourth Graders of Aesop Elementary by Candace Fleming is our first read aloud of the school year. It is the story of a fourth grade class that nobody wants to teach. Nobody, that is, until Mr. Jupiter comes along. He is willing to take this group of rambunctious (see delicious word post) 4th graders and teach them. They have fun and laugh together and learn at the same time. We are using this read aloud as an opportunity to complete "recaps" in our reader's notebooks. Recaps are brief summaries (2-3 sentences) that tell what happened during the part we read aloud. We are listening and learning from one another as we share.
