A Great new Kiddo Friendly Website.

The Kiddos of today are almost as savy on the computer at 8 as some of us are & we are much older.  I would like to share a great new site that my older Kiddos are having a ball with.

I was introduced to this fantastic site (Thank you Kim!) called FreeRice.com.   This site has twice the great educational opportunities as most websites for your Kiddos!   They can pick from a variety of topics from Math to Foreign Language, with different difficulty levels for each. From basic addition and subtraction to algebra, from Geography to Chemistry this site has it all.  They display all answers to the questions as either correct or incorrect and if your Kiddo misses an answer it is put back into the rotation to be asked again, reinforcing what they may have had difficulty with.  Now this alone is a fantastic site, but there is an even greater humanitarian component to this site...your Kiddo's screen has an image of a small bowl on the side for every correct answer your Kiddo gets the bowl is filled with 10 grains of rice.  For each grain of rice your Kiddo puts into the bowl Freerice.com will donate the same amount of actual rice to the United Nations World Food Program!!! This is a fantstic opportunity to show your Kiddos how learning benefits not only themselves but someone else who is in need.  I would strongly recommend you take a look, you may even find yourself answering some Foreign Language questions from your High School days!!     http://www.freerice.com/ 

So take a few minutes & let your Kiddo get some extra studying in while helping to feed a Kiddo in need.

Happy Learning!
