Every day:
Bible (God's Little Princess Devotional by Sheila Walsh)
Math (Math-U-See Alpha)
Science (Thinking about Science)
History (Our America, Abeka, we are currently in the 2nd grade book)
Language Arts (combination of Language Arts workbook, English for the Thoughtful Child, Grammar Skills workbook)
Reading (Spectrum Reading, 2nd grade workbook, plus she reads aloud a portion of Little House on the Prairie and usually 2-3 books/chapters of her choice)
Spelling (spelling lists I get online...she's at about a 3rd/4th grade level...we do a different spelling activity depending on the day of the week, and a spelling test every Friday)
Spanish (we just finished this unit, we were doing Spanish Elementary Level and Teach Them Spanish)
Cursive (practice from a workbook and worksheets that I made)

Our "special" activities vary week to week, but usually something like this:
Monday - library, pick book for video book summary
Tuesday - science project
Wednesday - piano lesson (I teach)
Thursday - craft
Friday - present book summary on video

I was going to post what we did but it's really not very impressive. I follow Ambleside online and add to it science twice a week, a daily math and almost daily penmanship. Weekly we do art appreciation and that's about it. We don't yet do the hymn/ folk music studies. We do handicrafts but I don't really consider it part of school.

every day:

math (Teaching Textbooks Algebra I)
spanish (Elementary Spanish via United Streaming)
history (History Odyssey: Level 2 Ancients)
reading (I have nothing to do with this, Sam reads about 300 pages per day of his own accord)
writing (another completely self-led activity, but I offer advice when asked)

every other day:
additional math (Life of Fred - Beginning Algebra)
science (cobbled together units I create, mostly using library books - this year we're cycling through four 2-month surveys of earth science, chemistry, physics, and life science)

a few times per week:
structured art (mostly making things, drawing, painting, etc.)
structured music (Leonard Bernstein's Concerts for Young People)
PE (swimming lessons, homeschool gym class, park days, nature hikes)

We almost always do our lessons in the morning.

Schedule? Are we supposed to keep a schedule? (Can you tell I live in a very relaxed state. LOL)

I can tell you what books we use but not how often we use them. My dd2 is in 6th grade.

What we try to do every day:
Math - Saxon 65
Handwriting - A Reason For Handwriting Book C
Writing - journal writing, on computer sometimes handwritten, sometimes with a prompt and sometimes free writing

Not every day, but often:
Social studies - SOTW 1
Science - Alpha Omega Lifepac 5
Reading - various novels
PE - various activities, rollerskating once per month
Art - free drawing, painting, etc. Started taking art lessons with another hs'ing mom, but haven't kept up with it.
Music - band at the public school and piano lessons

I don't have a set schedule but I do have certain things I like to get accomplished each day ~ like reading to my ds, and having him do some sort of math, it can be a computer/leapster game, playing Monopoly card games or helping me with baking, or sometimes he'll ask for some problems to do on paper.

He reads on his own during the day, and loves history and science (we're using SOTW1 and Noeo chemistry) so we usually do those every day.

Handwriting is not his favorite but he came up with the idea of a science notebook, so after our science reading he usually writes something important down from what we have read or draws a picture and labels it.

We're very relaxed here.:)

The times when homeschool is done varies from day to day but we do try to accomplish the same amount each day.
At least one page, sometimes more, of the Math*U*See Primary book
At least 3 pages from Spectrum Phonics
The story from First Grade Fairy Talesthat goes with the letter we are doing that day in phonics
Read the words from the "Word Wall"
Watch "Word World" on PBS
Read one book about the science unit we are working on
Sometimes there is also a science movie or project
A couple of times a week Aidan gets to use educational software on the computer
About three times a week there are art projects
Every evening ends with a bedtime story, recently from a chapter book.

Every Tuesday Aidan goes to Speech and Occupational Therapy ( where they have been working on handwriting)
On Thursdays he has Speech, O.T. and Physical Therapy.
