A Formidable List of Attainments for a Child of Six

We are investigating Charlotte Mason extensively in preparation for starting Kindergarten in the Fall. The more I read and learn about Charlotte Mason the more I love the philosophy. To that end here is a list I found on Ambleside, that we are using as a very low key goal/checklist for next year. My notes to the list are in red italics.

A reprint of a curriculum outline from a CM school in the 1890's. from Summer 93 Parents Review pub by Karen Andreola
