From the Desk of Mary Ellen Heckman - WARNING! THIS IS ADDICTIVE!
www. freerice.com -- A non-profit web site run by the United Nations World Food Program that partners with the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University – is a fun place to relax, learn new things, and fight world hunger. Each time that you get the correct answer, rice is donated to the United Nations World Food Program. When it debuted, it challenged gamers to identify some tough English vocabulary words. Once you started, it was difficult to stop. Now you can try many different subjects including World Art, English Grammar, Chemical Symbols, Math, Spanish, Countries. It is still difficult to stop. If you need some help reviewing for your English, math, or Spanish classes or just want to relax, go to www.freerice.com.
