Making a Scrapbook A scrapbook is a book of blank pages that you fill with photos,
artwork, and notes. It helps you remember special times in your life. Your
scrapbook can be about many things—a trip, a holiday, a pet, your family. It
can be about your sports team, or a play or concert you were in, or your
class at school.
You can tape or glue anything small and flat onto a page in your
scrapbook. For example, you could tape a ticket from a basketball or a
football game in your scrapbook. You could place these next to a photo of
yourself watching the game, or playing in the game. You might also tape
a newspaper article about the game on the same page. Maybe you wrote
a poem about the game or the sport. You could put the poem in, too.
Together, all of these things will help you remember what it was like to be
at that game.
Whatever you put in a scrapbook, it has to be something that can
last a long time. For example, if you get a haircut, you can put a lock of
your hair into a plastic bag and tape it inside your scrapbook. However,
if you want to remember a big snowstorm, obviously you cannot paste a
snowflake into your scrapbook! Instead, you could glue in a picture of a
snowflake or a photo of yourself and your friends playing in the snow. You
could also cut a snowflake out of paper. Then you could use that cutout to
decorate your page about the snowstorm.
A scrapbook holds things that are important to you. It is a special
book that helps you to remember people, places, and events.

Compound Words
Compound words are words made up of two or more smaller words.
Knowing the meaning of the smaller words can often help you figure out the meaning of the compound word.
Combining words to make compound words:
I had a lot of work to do at my house, and I did all the housework by myself.
The game was down the hill, so we all ran downhill to join in.
My mother said it was time for bed, so I guess it must be bedtime.
Uncle Tomás bought us a new ball and Dad put up a basket, so now we can play basketball.
