The boys also have an hour at the end of the day where they learn about anything that interests them.  My oldest usually studies science topics on the computer and my younger son usually works on Scratch programming.

We usually start the day with Bible and then move to foreign languages.  I typically work with my oldest child individually first and then work with my 3rd grader.  When my 3rd grader is ready for a break I work with my youngest.  I then work again with my 3rd grader and usually come back to my 5th grader when I am done with my other two.
