Like my family
Soccer is the best

Like playing football outside
Dirt Bike Riding is awesome because there are huge hill climbs

street hockey
doesn't have to be boring like sitting inside
Street Hockey
doesn't have to be unfair like big people against little people
Street Hockey

doesn't have to be tiring like running all day
Street Hockey
doesn't have to be athletic like coaches telling you what to do
Street Hockey
is awesome because you can score a goal!

like great
Baseball
catching
hitting the ball
Baseball is running

Myah

Ice cream
Doesn't have to just be chocolate strawberry and vanilla
Doesn't have to be a dessert like a Hershey bar
Ice cream can be delicious like a thanksgiving meal
Ice cream doesn't have to be sprinkly and crunchy Like a snicker bar
Ice cream doesn't have to be sweet like candy
Ice cream is a good treat!

Amy

A play
Doesn't have to be real
Like Romeo and Juliet.
A play
Doesn't have to be funny
Like Seuss Cal Jr.
A play
Can be fun and thrilling.
A play
Doesn't have to be adventures like Nimšs Island.
A play
Doesn't have to be about animals
Like march of the penguins.
A play is neat.

Tim

Writing
Doesn't have to be hard
Like running 20 miles in a race
Writing
Doesn't have to be long
Like a tractor trailer
Writing
Can be fun and exciting
Like winning a 100 $
Or a trip to Florida
Writing
Doesn't have to be homework on Saturdays
Writing
Doesn't have to be tuff
Like a bully going to your house
Writing is great
Because you can use your imagination.

Playing
Doesn't have to be boring
Playing

Paying is free time

Like someone being mean
Softball is a sport

Basketball is fun!

Rhetorical Question Poems

By Tim

Big Creeks

I wonder if they mind us fishing in them?
I suppose they don't mind.
They give us water to drink.
They let us swim in them.
They make the places they live in beautiful.
Creeks make our earth look more peaceful.

By Myah

Helpful Squirrels

I wonder if they mind climbing trees?
I spouse they don't mind.
They climb up trees to get nuts.
They eat yucky insects.
They build nests in trees.
Squirrels are probably busy every day.

Tyler

Groundhogs Live

I wonder if groundhogs mind living in the ground?
I suppose they don't mind.
They dig holes in the ground and live there.
They aren't friendly.
They will run from other animals.
They live in borrows.
Groundhogs live everywhere.

Madison

Blue Birds

I wonder if Blue Birds minds being blue?
I suppose they might.
There no anther blue birds.
They are not the only birds that you see.
They help us by eating warms.
Blue birds are very pretty flying through the air.

Cassidy

Sunflowers

I wonder if sunflowers mind if you pick them?
I suppose they don't care.
They always come in Summer.
They always make Earth beautiful because they are yellow.
They give us seeds to eat so we can stay healthy.
Sunflowers are very beautiful.

Maria

Green Grass

I wonder if grass minds if we step on it?
I suppose it doesn't
It helps cows and horses live
It is helpful to golfers and sport players
I know sky divers like grass
because they know where they are gonna land
It is a plant that gets cut by my dad's lawn mower
Grass makes dirt look pretty

Abby

Sunflower seeds
I wonder if sunflower seeds mind if we eat them?
I suppose they do
They might not really taste good
They look really weird
They can still be planted when they're already in the bag
Sunflower seeds get stuck in my teeth.

Amy

Big Birds
I wonder if they like to fly?
I suppose they do.
They eat bugs that harm us.
Their feathers help our crafts.
They help us by eating mice, too.

Lindsey

Candy Bars
I wonder if candy bars like to be eaten?
I suppose they do.
Candy bars are crunchy.
Candy bars come in different colored wrappers.
Candy bars can be different shapes.
Candy bars are good.

Taylor

Snow
I wonder if snow minds if people play in it?
I suppose it doesn't.
When the snowfalls it is white and soft.
People build igloos in it.
Snow is fun to play.

Rocky

Short Grass
I wonder if grass minds if we step on it.
I suppose it doesn't.
It is in a lot of places.
It grows.
It is easy to walk on.
It smells good when it is cut.

Garrett

Cardinals
I wonder if they mind flying.
I suppose they do.
They hatch in spring.
They are the only red birds.
They have blacks stripes on their necks.
Cardinals hatch in spring.

Briahna

Blue Jays
I wonder do they mind flying
I suppose they don't
They fly slowly in the sky
They do not like hunters
They are a dark navy blue
It's neat to watch them fly South for the winter.
