Free Rice

Post by Angela Butterfly »

This is a really neat vocabulary website.
I learned about from a TV news broadcast a few weeks ago. From the news report, it is being used in some School Systems. For every correct answer, 10 grains of rice are donated.

It's a cool site, and though 10 grains doesn;t sound like much it all adds up to a lot. You can look at their stats and since it started they have really gotten a lot of donations..

I add to my grains in between patients. It is also a fun way to practice vacb skills.
