am I doing this right?

I just started homeschooling my 8th grader. So far we have a schedule that looks like this:
7:30-wake up?breakfast/brush teeth/etc
8:30-spelling/reading
9:30-math
10:30-social studies
11:30-"special" (art/cooking/computers)
12:00-lunch
12:30-science
He is really behind in spelling so I'm trying to catch him up. For reading right now he's doing "the hobbit". His math is K-12 pre-algebra as he's had problems with math before too. Social studies right now is geography then will be explorers, pilgrims, rev. war, civil war and constitution. Science is hydrology (that is what the 8th grade is doing in the public school) and then we will do water pollution and then evolution.
I'm wondering if I'm missing anything. I"m trying to do things he's interested in but I also want to include things that I know the public school is doing. I'm going to have him do some research projects on topics he enjoys and he also does a lot of worksheets.
Any suggestions to make this better?
