Week Five—Day One

Welcome to Charlotte Mason Monday! Charlotte Mason Mondays include: (a) a Charlotte Mason activity using six of our eleven spelling words for the week, and (b) all eleven spelling words and definitions. You can use today’s Charlotte Mason activity alone for the week, the non-Charlotte Mason-themed activities on days two through five, or use all five days of activities together, whatever fits your family’s needs.

Here is our list of words for this week.

1. memories—remembrances; everything you remember

Read each of the words. Now, go back over the words again. Say the word aloud. Spell the word aloud. Say the word aloud again.
