FreeRice... 

FreeRice... 

 

Has anyone ever heard of FreeRice?  It's a website where you answer questions and each one you get right, FreeRice gives ten grains of rice to hungry people.  It has different subjects you can choose from.  Language, grammar, art, math, and others.  You get to learn things while you help people.  I mostly just do Spanish, 'cause I'm trying to learn it.  

To find it, you could just Google it.

 

Goodbye,

Ohhh! I love FreeRice!

I've given thousands of grains of rice, usually with Vocabulary and German and Math. :D

Yes, Math, I like math, and I would've gotten everything right if my mouse wasn't all weird...

I went to the website and it looks awesome! I want to participate, but my parents are writers aand they have to use this computer becuase the others aren't working, and I have to wait until they are, because the reason they don't work is because my brother installed some software, and the disk for this computer is almost full, and I can't mess it up, so I have to wait, like I said, and this is a huge runon sentence, and I should stop, but I really don't care if it's a runon sentence or not, so  I'll keep going on for all eternity, or at  least until the end of the world, except that I have much better things to do, so maybe I should stop after all, but this is fun, so I don't know, and... *keeps ranting, for all eternity*

Oh, I really like FreeRice!  I didn't know they had different subjects, though....For part of my sixth grade year, our grade was required to spend a certain amount of time on FreeRice per week, so that's how I found out about it.  It's a really good place to go if you're bored (especially when you're stuck during NaNoWriMo).

Oh, cool. I had never heard of that before. I might

have to try it sometime. It sounds like a really good

idea. :)

Yay!  I am very happy that all of you like FreeRice!!!  One of my friends told me about it in November, and I've been on it almost every day ever sense then!  FreeRice helps people while you learn!  Exclamation points are very magical!  I overuse exclamation points! Cha cha cha cha cha.... Cha! Lalalalalalaleeelalalalalala!

I'm really good with vocabulary words, so I've been doing the English Vocabulary a lot. I've donated 430 grains of rice so far!

I found it long ago but had forgotten. I just spent a lot of time on vocab, grammar, Spanish, geography, chemistry, and a little math, although that was rather boring for me. :P Spanish and geography were great review from last year, though, and chemistry and vocab were just fun. A lot of dumb mistakes on grammar *headdesk* but hey, I'll improve. Thanks for reminding me!
