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

Amazing Women - Women's History Month - Montessori 3-Part Cards
Women's History Month begins on March 1st and these cards will help introduce your children to 16 of the most amazing women! My only problem in making these was trying to decide who to include. We could be easily rotating sets of these all month! (As a matter of fact, I suggest it so that the children don't become too overwhelmed.) These are traditional three part cards, featuring two matching image cards and a label for each subject. Includes Cleopatra Jane Austin Susan B. Anthony Amelia

U.S.A. Presidents - Montessori - Timeline

Included are 54 cards of the Presidents with the number of their presidency and name beneath their picture. The cards are placed in order on "picture frame" mats included, beginning with just a few. I've also included instructions on making and presenting this material. I hope you have as much

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!
