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

Montessori Reptiles & Amphibians Punch Outs
Pin poking, pin pricking, punch outs... this beloved activity is a Montessori classic. So open - ended, pin pricking not only builds up writing muscles and skills, it's great for intrinsically encouraging kids to "stick with it" until finished. I always warn that punch outs need to be carefully watched, just like scissors. And NEVER use a small push pin as a poker! Children WILL put them in their mouths. Please DO go to Montessori Services and see the pokers that have a long handle and a s

Nocturnal Animals Montessori 3 Part Cards
Animals at Night!This subject is so interesting to all kids, but seems to me to lend itself to young children during the autumn season. I decided not to isolate the animals, as the background seems to add information in placing the animal in it's habitat. And older children who are making more connections need lots of information! Hmm. Maybe habitats next? This file features ★a variety of nocturnal animals: skunk, red eyed tree frog, cat, raccoon, armadillo, beaver, bat, cricket, hermit cra

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!
