Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Not sure what typical means but this is what my dd does: MTWTF Bible Spelling/Vocabulary (alternates weekly) Reading Math (2x/day) Science History (we are doing cultural geography this year) Formal English gets done 3x/week but she writes in some form or fashion daily. Art lessons once a week but supplies are available for anytime Nature studies are on Friday Library 2x a week (Sundays and Wednesdays) Handwriting is not a formal study but she is practicing her cursive with writing her spelling words and Bible verse.

boscopup Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 It really will depend partly on what you're using, as some curriculum is designed for daily and some for 3x/week, etc. In 2nd grade, we did: Math - Singapore - daily Grammar - FLL, then KISS - about 3x/week Writing - WWE - 3x/week (combined the first 2 days in one day, since one of those days has no writing) Spelling - AAS, then R&S - 3-4x/week History - SOTW - 3x/week Science - BJU Science - 2x/week My son was already "reading to learn", so I didn't have reading instruction, but he read a lot on his own and didn't need assigned reading. If he had been in the "learning to read" stage still (as is typical of a 2nd grader), we would have had reading instruction daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stm4him Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 My son does every subject every day except for Science (3 days/week plus co-op) and Fine Arts (1 day/week plus co-op). Every day he does: Math Logic Greek Latin Phonics/Spelling Grammar Writing (cursive and composition) Reading Timeline (I read the back of one card, we discuss, he makes a notebook page and writes date on chart) Geography (locate places and sing memory songs) Memory Work in a variety of subjects And one enrichment subject per day on a loop schedule: History Geography (draw maps) Fine Arts Bible Science Science Lab or Project Nature Study In the evenings we do devotional and Bible Study and read aloud......

I'd love to hear how you do both Greek and Latin. I am rolling it around in my head now . . . I don't have a good answer. Can you suggest anything?
