We were studying compound words.  I gave the students an assignment to make up some new compound words and write the definitions next to them.  Here are some new words for you all to use:

grassmate:  someone who helps you cut the grass.

gentlecycle:  a bicycle that never falls over.

lunchmower:  someone who eats their lunch really, really fast.

undermen:  men who live underground.

scrapmate:  a friend that is made from scraps.  (This scares me a little bit.)

hairstorm:  hair that has a crazy day.  (This happens to me a lot.)

motormother:  a robotic mom.  (I wonder where they got this idea!?)

scareberry:  a berry that you DON'T want to eat.

skatemate:  two people mate when they skate.  (Ummm...)
