How much time do you spend in your home-school studying books & how much learning is activity based?

It has really depended on the children's ages and learning styles. This year I have two boys at home, 7th gr & 5th gr. We read Bibleand history together and do memory work together, this takes about 1.5 hours; their independant and computer work probably takes about 2+ hours; the rest of the day is LIFE learning--taking care of animals, chores, reading, working on their businesses, etc. If we want to do an activitiy for school, I usually schedule a special day of mostly activities, because otherwise we have trouble finding time!
