Psalm 23

Ruth has been so motivated to do her memory verses for Sunday School. She already knew Genesis 1:1 but doing the whole of Psalm 23 has been a challenge. But she has faithfully worked on it and has done so amazingly well. She is only 4. :-)

JumpStart Preschool

Ruth is really enjoying this computer programme.

I can already see how these simple counting games have helped her counting. She is getting really good.
She is even starting to recognize the numbers with this game. They do say the number but she is able to at least recognize some of them before the number is even said.

Extra practice in recognizing the numbers in order and the letters too.

The memory game is also more advanced than on the Barnie DVD - so that's nice to get her mind that extra stimulation.

She quickly jumped to level 3 with letter recognition.

Colour by shape or number or letter is always fun.

Songs with the words highlighted as they sing.

Hide and seek where clues are given and you have to work out where the fish is hiding. This clue was "I rhyme with sock".

Odd one out. Great for showing the difference between letters.

And Ruth will always enjoys some puzzles.

I like how in this one she gets to see how two smaller different shapes together make the big one.

Lets Play School

Ruth wanted a break from Letterland and with her asking for a different computer game I remembered that our Barnie dvds have computer games on them. So she was excited to play "Let's Play School" today.


This first game is the hardest one - it's connect the dots (by number). I made her the card with numbers 1 - 10 so that she could see which one comes next. They also say the number as she clicks on it - so perhaps this will eventually help her to recognize numbers too. Once the picture has been completed it gets automatically coloured in and moves. So it's great fun for her.

She had been playing this memory game with us but I think playing it on the computer will help her get the idea of it better. And they start really simply too which is nice.

Making patterns. She has made coloured patterns with toys with me before but it was harder only having the pattern shown once. She quickly got the hang of it though.

And children always enjoy colouring in. Even if it's on a computer. :-)

Practice counting. As she picks the crayons up Baby Bop counts and the number appears on the box. So reinforcing the written number and counting.
