Play Game-Save Lives

What up, friendly readers? If you're sitting at home or at work reading this, you must be hard up for something to do. Well, now try this:

freerice.org

Sponsored by the United Nations, this website is making a point to stamp out world hunger, and my middle school is trying to help, too. Until February 14, our kids and staff are playing Free Rice's vocabulary game. Every vocab word they get right, 20 grains of rice is donated to a starving family. Our goal is to get 20 million grains by February 14, and this will feed a family of four for one year.

The great part is YOU can help, too! If you participate, keep track of your numbers and send them my way. You can email them to me or post them as a comment. Like the kids, you'll have FUN learning new vocabulary and you'll help a family out. And, YES, they actually do consider this FUN!
