Fine motor skills is the theme for this day. We have seen so much progress since I started schooling in this way, with regards to motor skills and following routines. A year ago I saw my oldest writing on his own, independently with the use of a magnetic doodle pad, this was during his enrollment at public school. He had since refused to even try, but with all of the unschooling he has experienced since January, he is now willing and able to practice writing, and in conjunction with spelling and reading! 'A' prefers to work with markers, and on a whiteboard. His technique and dexterity is wonderful and has come a long long way in such a short time of unschooling.

On Wednesdays we focus on activities that help to practice fine motor movements, and I customize the selection of available toys to meet and challenge these skills. It is the day where I guide writing and drawing pieces, and we explore the text around us.
