Today I'm sending you a special class all about compound words!
Compound words are when two or more words are put together to form a new word with a new meaning - like notebook, mother-in-law, and post office.
Sometimes compound words are easy to understand: a bookstore is a store that sells books; a dishwasher is a machine that washes dishes.
But others might not be so obvious, for example:
