susancollins Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I think the WTM suggest you should spend an hour a day on Math, and Language (Phonics and Writing), and 30 mintues a day of reading. If someone could just give me a sample to see what I should do on what days and how long per day. I am planning on day Math & Language everday but unsure about many other areas.

2_girls_mommy Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 My 2nd grader did: Mon: handwriting worksheet phonics English Math Art Tue: phonics English math Music History Wed: handwriting sheet phonics English math Science Thurs: phonics English math History/geography written narration on a book that she read over the week due. Fri: co-op As for times, we just did what needed to be done. I had no set time. The L.A. and math stuff usually took 1.5-2 hrs. The extra subjects (art, music, history, science) can take anywhere from 1 to 1.5 hrs. Reading happens everyday, throughout the day. Readalouds from her and to her at bedtime.

kalanamak Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 We are doing monthly (year round): 10-12 hours math 15 each of: 30 minutes reading 15 minutes spelling 20 minutes grammar 5-10 minutes handwriting 30 minutes of free reading and 18 sessions of WWE (some are short, some are long) 3 hours each music and art 6-9 hours each of history and science (including field trips) 12 hours PE 2+ hours of Latin. We started Latin and WWE half way through the year, and skipped into WWE2 once I was sure he had the points of 1 down pat. If kiddo takes a break, or is sick, or goes on a car trip, we make up the lost time before and after. If you are wondering, I got this by adding up all the times in the WTM for 2nd grade, and dividing by 12. Seemed as good a way as any.:) HTH.

Mom0012 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 My daughter is finishing up 2nd grade. Here's a rough idea of what she did each day. Piano 20 - 30 minutes Independent Reading (SL Readers) - 30 minutes Math (CLE) - 30 minutes Grammar/spelling (CLE) - 30 minutes History/Bible/Lit/Science (Listening to SL Core 3) - 1 hour Math fact practice software - 10 - 15 minutes Reading Comprehension software (Reading Detective)- 15 minutes 2X/week Writing (WWE) - 20 minutes I usually graded her work at night and went over anything new with her either first thing in the morning or after she did her piano practice. I read to her and her brother over breakfast. I give her a weekly checklist of what she needs to do and she is able to work through it pretty independently after I do whatever teaching I need to do with her. She was easily done by lunch.
