No need to use any prepositions nefore 'the next day'. Say just The next day she planted the rose in the garden . The next day, after coming home from school, she quickly did (I wouldn't use the verb 'did' in this case, it somehow sounds unnatural to me; but any other appropriate verb escapes me now) her homework and finished her lunch.

Hi,
I think this might sound more natural in that this is what you will hear more often (I think):
The next day/ Next day, upon coming home from school, she quickly finished her homework and her lunch; then she did ...
I think your corrected sentence is correct grammatically.

This one is fine. You use 'the' before next week, next month, next year when a point of view is past. When it's a present point of view, you don't need 'the':
The next month I visited Sofia. (Past point of view.)
Next month I will visit Sofia. (Present point of view.)

Hi guys,
A couple of brief comments.
She did her homework. This is what is very commonly said. It almost always means that she did all of it, ie she finished.
upon coming home from school This is correct, but you won't commonly hear people use 'upon' in this way.
Best wishes, Clive

Thanks, Clive! I didn't know about "to do homework". Still lots of things to learn...
