gr group iowa

Kashira ended up reading beyond the chapters that we assigned for our next gr group meeting and finished the whole book so right now she's writing down questions she had about the 2nd half of the book as she skims and rereads it.
She wrote a TON of questions, mostly understanding and analyzing.  I asked her if she'd like to learn how to write questions at the highest level of thinking on the pyramid.  She said yes, and when I modeled how to ask evaluating and creating questions, she was able to come up with her own as well:
-What is special to Junie B. Jones?
-How can Junie B. Jones get better in school?
She then categorized all the rest of her questions, now she's prioritizing the question about what is special to Junie B. and will research it on her own.

Anyah is reading the second half of the book for the first time and writing down questions as she goes.
-What did Grandma get Junie B.
-Why is she going to get a raccoon.
-Why does Junie B. Jones calls her book smells somthing Fishy.
-does lucilles talk a lot
-Why is she talking to the worm?
-how did the new friend feel in her hands
-how can she take that big fish to school

Trae is just reading, I noticed he doesn't like to stop and write questions.
