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 Montessori 3 Part Cards + Writing Booklet Cursive

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! That was MANY years ago. Now, inspired by the Vanita Art clip art, I'm so pleased to be able to offer these pretty three part cards of the 12 Days of Christmas. 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

Shamrock Counting Cards 1 - 100

A set of seasonal counting cards numbered 1 - 100, matching black line graphics for student use and suggestions for making and using. I've thought up many applications for both Montessori and non-Montessori classrooms just off the top of my head and I'm sure you can think up even more! ********************************************************************************************** You may also like: Coloring By The Number Counting 1 - 20Subtraction Cards For Gold Beads, Stamp Game, Bead Frame*

Turkey Tens Frames - 1 - 20

Practice counting in a seasonal way with these pretty watercolor turkeys. Children will count and perhaps place small stones or acorn caps on the dots. They then search for the matching label for that amount. The labels feature both the number and the name of the number. To make, just print, cut and laminate. Thanks so much for stopping by, Mary

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!
