FREE RICE!

FREE RICE!
I was told about this website when I was doing the famine with mudpies and queenie. Its a great website, that when you get a words definition right, UN (United nation) will donate 20 grains of rice to the poor people wherever they go. I got 500 grains of rice donated by my efforts, and maybe you could try to. If everyone tryed and hgad 100 donated, which is easy, as you only need to get 5 words right, heaps of rice could be donated. It would also be a good thing for our word study definitions!

1 word: 20 grains 5 words: 100 grains
Here is the website: http://www.freerice.com/
