Do you have a learning routine at home?

Do you have a ?routine? to do homework and other learning things?
Do you do that in the morning? Afternoon? When exactly? For how long?
Do you have a dedicated space or do you sit the kids at the table?
What do you do? Just school stuff or a little bit more?
And do you do all your DCs at the same time or one at a time?

I have two DCs, expecting a third next may and I am keen to set up some kind of routine where I could teach them / do activities but probably not extra-curricular activities practice, like piano, which would have to be done at another time.

Im planning to buy a special little table for them and do half an hour of learning activities every day ? I think morning would work better as they are just too tired in the evening.
Something like breakfast ? learning ? getting dressed
Or breaksfats ? getting ready ? learning?

Or am I just mad?

Thanks!!

Sixth sense, your family sounds lovely, especially the bit about all taking a turn at reading something aloud.

I also think it is an important point that learning is enjoyable, and that formal learning can also be a lot of fun.
