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

Planets Lacing Cards

Parent FriendlyThese are a nice addition to your solar system work. All of the planets and the sun are beautifully represented in their relative size on lacing cards that you print on card stock and owning the file means you can always make a new set when needed. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Montessori Botany - Plants 3-Part Cards

When I was planning how to make this work, I decided I wanted it to be a very basic introduction to plants. In this set, there is one example of each of the following plant groups: tree, bush/shrub, grass, vine, fern, moss, green algae and herb. To make, simply print out the cards and labels, cut apart and laminate, if so desired. I have also included a page that you can print, laminate, fold and affix to make a folder for the cards. Thanks for checking out my work! 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!
