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.

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.

Every day he does:

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

In the evenings we do devotional and Bible Study and read aloud......

My current 2nd grader is doing:

 

Daily (abbreviated on Fridays): Memory work, Bible/Catechism, Math, Writing With Ease/FLL OR MCT (in other words- we do an every other day rotation), choice reading, Greek, Piano

 

Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs: Spelling, HWOT, and TOG- which includes assigned reading, map work, vocabulary, discussion

 

Fri: Science, Music, Art (only scheduled if they have completed all math and writing requirements for the week; happens about 75% of the time)

 

I am attempting to add EM Daily Science and Prima Latina. We'll see if that works . . .

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?
