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

The 12 Days of Christmas was always a favorite in my class. We had a very worn felt board version we used for many years. I would have LOVED to have had a set of cards like these!

Plus, I've made a booklet that the children can use to replicate the pictures and write the titles to keep for themselves. This extends the experience, gi

Birds In Winter - Subtraction Practice
Birds In Winter is one of my favorite products during the wintertime. I thought it might be fun to make some addition and subtraction work with the same theme. This work can be a handy practice for children who have been working with manipulatives on facts up to 18 - 9 = 9. For an extra challenge, there are pages that children can practice missing addends, too. Please take a look at the preview where you can see each page. Thanks so much for stopping by!

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!
