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 Cube Chains Recording Strips
This is BIG work! It's the cube chains printed on strips that children can count the real chains and then record their ticket numerals. The tags for the square numerals are dotted so that children make special note of them, tracing the special square numerals. Just print, cut and present! *********************************************************** You may also like: Montessori Square Chains Recording SheetsCounting Sets of TenTelling Time on the Hour11 - 20 Practice with the Montessori Bead Ba

Multiplication Tables of Combinations Booklets - Large Size - Montessori Math
UPDATED When I made these larger sized booklets, it was in response to a specific need I found in my own classroom. Most of the booklets I had were just too small. Many of my children were still developing those writing skills needed and while we were working on this I felt they needed that obstacle removed from this work. The pages measure approximately 3 1/2 x 7 1/2. There are gray lined spaces for the children to record their answers I hope that you will find these helpful and thanks so

Gold Beads Practice with Decimal Quantity & Symbol
Montessori Gold Beads. It's important for children to understand the step of associating the quantity with the symbol before proceeding. The practice, however, can be attention consuming for adults in the classroom. Hopefully, life will get just a little bit easier with these cards. They allow children to practice with quantity and symbol independently. They also make the "Bring Me" game a breeze! Especially fun when you have a trusted older student run the game! 76 cards showing the numer

Montessori Cube Chains Recording Sheets
I used to cut apart hundred board paper to make the recording paper for the chains. What a pain! This is so much easier. Children will record their work in the circles on this prepared paper. The squares also leave enough room on the left edge in case you want to staple them into a booklet format. Just print, cut and present! *********************************************************** You may also like: Montessori Cube Chains Recording StripsMontessori Square Chains Recording SheetsCounting

Montessori & Common Core - Counting to 20
I have been looking into how Montessori meets the Kindergarten Common Core guidelines. This is the second of what will be a series of work on how we do this and will include suggestions for variations and extensions with the Montessori mathematics materials. Do you have children who can assemble the Teen Boards, but are struggling to really grasp the concepts.? Perhaps you have a child who has come to Montessori late and needs additional help? How about a child who is hesitant to practice wit

Birds In Winter - Subtraction Practice
Birds In Winter is one of my favorite products during the wintertime. I thought it might be fun to make some addition and subtraction work with the same theme. This work can be a handy practice for children who have been working with manipulatives on facts up to 18 - 9 = 9. For an extra challenge, there are pages that children can practice missing addends, too. Please take a look at the preview where you can see each page. Thanks so much for stopping by!

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!
