Insights behind the perils of being a teacher

Practice Vocabulary and feed a nation!

CHECK IT OUT!   

The words are :Free Rice"  You can go to http://freerice.com/  and play the vocabulary game.  Or your students can pick a level they are working at and play themselves.  For every word they get correct, they earn 20 grains of rice that is donated to starving people in other countries.  This is a fantastic idea I heard on NBC.  The students not only practice vocabulary but they can see the number of grains of rice they are earning to help feed the worlds hungry!

What a fantastic concept.  Even our poorest children are rich compared to children in some of the third World countries.  We can teach vocabulary and charity at the same time.  I am going to have mine on the computer as much as possible; learning and giving.
