Free Rice

I was searching for an interactive literacy site for my students.  I stumbled upon Freerice. This site is owned by and supports the United Nations World Food Programme. Their goal is to provide education for free and to end world hunger by providing free rice.  The object of the games are for every right answer you get they will donate 10 grains of rice through the World Food Programme to help end hunger.
Subjects included are:
Humanities, English, Math, Chemistry, Language Learning, Geography and Sciences.
I mentioned this site to my daughter and she began playing the games to see how much rice she can have donated. This site keeps a daily total on how much rice has been donated.  What an amazing idea!!!!!!!

I needed some resource help for my new class, ESL and Special Ed.  One evening I Googled words and phrases that had to do with Language arts and I got many hits that involved this topic.  I saved many links in order to review them when I had time. This is one of the links that I saved.  This site is a vocabulary and spelling builder.
