Preposition Activities

Just finished adding two preposition activities to TpT and WorksheetShare.com. A prepositions crossword puzzle and a prepositions word search. The crossword puzzle even comes with an answer key when you purchase it from TpT. I plan on adding an answer key to the word search later. Both activities are designed to go along with the Easy Grammar® series by Dr. Wanda C. Phillips.

If you are not familiar with Easy Grammar® texts they use the prepositional approach combined with effective strategies. I personally have found the text quite effective in the classroom.

New Random Group Generator

I just finished creating a new script that allows you to create random groups of students with the new Random Group Generator.

I received the idea from someone that made a donation through my random student selector script.

Thanks Susan for the idea.

Moodle Scripts Update

I just finished updating the Moodle Math Questions script at aschool.us so that it uses less of the Algebra Notation. This should help reduce the load on the server and help your students pages to load and render faster.

You may also download a pre-made set of Moodle Math Questions at teacherspayteachers.com.
