Days without extra-curriculars:

Get home after school.
Snack: relaxing but not too much dawdling.
Homework (schoolwork, native language, voice or musical instrument, extra math, etc).
Free time: directly correlated to speed and accuracy at which homework is done! It should be correct and turned in to Mom, otherwise it's sent back to kid to review until it's correct before free time.
Dinner.
Bath.
Reading and bedtime.

Days with extra-curriculars:

Get home, abbreviated snack.
Homework.
Dinner.
Bath.
Reading and bedtime.

Free time can be whatever they want, but it's usually reading, Minecraft or pretend play.[/quote] are native language and extra math are in addition to homework or in lieu of it when there is nothing assigned?[/quote]

We do our best to stagger the work: on days when schoolwork is done, they do their native language and extra math. Music is every day. There are no fights about work in my house, because one of my kids has special needs and has been accustomed to therapy or "work" in some form or another since birth, and the other actually likes doing these things! But it self-regulates anyway sine they don't get playtime until the work is done.
