About the store
Good day, everyone! To e-mail me directly: secondstar2therite@comcast.net.
After receiving my ECE from Northern Virginia Community College, I attended the Association Montessori Internationale training in Palo Alto, California. This course was given by Dr. Lena Wikramaratne. Miss Lena was trained and worked beside Dr. Montessori and her son, Mario, while Dr. Montessori was in India.
I retired in May, 2017, after almost 40 years as a Primary guide. I have always enjoyed making materials , so TPT was a good fit for me. Sadly, as I get older, I find that I cannot produce as much as I used to, but I still think of something new occasionally. Take the time to enjoy your students as time passes way too quickly!
Blessings,
Mary

Winter Art Masterpieces- Montessori Vocabulary Cards
This collection of winter themed masterpieces has become my favorite of the season. The children in my class loved closely inspecting each picture and talking together before placing them on a small easel with a doily. There are 12 different masterpieces by artists such as Peter Bruegel, Claude Monet, and Mary Cassatt. To make, just print, cut and laminate, if so desired. *********************************************************************************************** Ages: 2 + ***************

Christmas Matching Cards
While I was searching through the winter images for our Winter Masterpiece art cards, I kept seeing so many really pretty, whimsical or vintage Christmas images that I thought children would enjoy that I had to make this set just for fun. There are 14 Christmas images. Print out two copies to make cards that the children can match together and play memory games with. Maybe they will be inspired to try to draw their own Christmas pictures. Thank you for your interest in my material!

Awards & shining teacher moments
I'm most proud of the years I spent in my beautiful Montessori Children's House of Aloha in Oregon. I purchased a house built in the 1950's that had beautiful, low windows and a french door that led to an enormous, natural backyard with an enormous oak tree, wooden deck, garden and invitations to play at the back of the yard. So many children passed through those doors, all grown up now. So many beautiful memories!
