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

Nocturnal Animals Montessori 3 Part Cards
Animals at Night!This subject is so interesting to all kids, but seems to me to lend itself to young children during the autumn season. I decided not to isolate the animals, as the background seems to add information in placing the animal in it's habitat. And older children who are making more connections need lots of information! Hmm. Maybe habitats next? This file features ★a variety of nocturnal animals: skunk, red eyed tree frog, cat, raccoon, armadillo, beaver, bat, cricket, hermit cra

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

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!
