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 Tens Board Extension Game

Tens Board Extension GameI made this material many years ago for a little girl who just could NOT get that jump nor a good flow to counting. And she was tired of the Tens Boards. These got the light bulb to click on and she quickly improved. So if you need help for students who could benefit from further practice with those pesky jumps from one set of tens to the next while counting to 100, this will help. The children will count and match sets of gold bead cards with their numerals. Comple

Addition Tables Of Combinations Booklets - Montessori

When I made these booklets, I made them larger than usual because I found that it was easier for children to keep track of their work and keep it orderly with the larger pages. I also added a defined space for the children to write the answer. The pages are approximatly 3 1/2" x 7 1/2" 3 sets of tables: addition tables in order tables mixed random facts Thanks so much for stopping by to check out my work!

Booklet Three asks that the child draw two quantities, count them together and record the sum. Includes instructions for making and presenting. **********************

Numbers 1 - 10 Cards - Count, Compare, Write

The images that I used in making these will be familiar to Montessori children. But there's something there that they may not have seen before and may not be so familiar with. A Tens Frame. With these cards, Montessori children will compare counting materials and be introduced to the new form of a tens frame, a common format in many educational systems. Of course you don't need to be in a Montessori classroom to use this work. It fits well in Math Centers, too. Children will match the quant

Montessori - Now retired after 40+ years.

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!

My own education history

Additional biographical information

I have two grown sons, enjoy quilt making, bird watching, paper crafting and material - making.
