Montessori is an education-
al method developed by Dr.
Maria Montessori in 1906.
According to Goodman-
Christiansen, its primary focus
is on allowing children to
teach themselves by furthering
the self-creating process of
each child.

Indians originally developed
Native American code talking
during World War I.
Many unusual and rare coins
and currencies have been on
display at recent shows.
“In the past we have had $4
gold Stella coins, a very rare
U.S. coin minted between 1879
and 1880,” Woodward said.
Last year, according to
Woodward, one of the dealers
brought a “Beaver” — a $5 coin
“It is like how children
learn to walk and learn
language,” Goodman-Chris-
tiansen said. “It is exactly the
same thing only we are doing
it with phonics and mathemat-
ics and geography. It becomes
second nature and they don’t
even know they are learning.
It is a huge advantage when
they transition into public
school.”
Foskett said, “Montessori is
learning through freedom,
which means that children are
interested, which means that it
sticks. When Montessori kids
enter the public school system,
they are way ahead both aca-
demically and socially.”
Wildflower
currently
charges a flat monthly rate of
$320, with a non-refundable
$25 registration fee. The
school will initially take up to
20 students.
There is no daily rate.
“We are education based.
We don’t want to do daycare,”
Goodman-Christiansen said.
that was minted in Oregon in
1849 by the Oregon Exchange
Company. Back then it was
legal for private entities to make
their own coins, because of the
coin shortage, especially on the
west coast.
Oregon Bank Notes will also
be on display.
“One of the dealers has an
interesting collection of Oregon
Bank Notes. They made nation-
al bank notes into the 1930s.
They were issued by the gov-
ernment but in the name of a
local bank. They had the bank
name printed on the notes,”
Woodward said.
The popular event attracts
between 300 and 500 people
every year and Woodward said
he has a waiting list of dealers
who want to attend.
