This was all we did Sunday, as we had to go do something as a family, and it may be this way for the next few Sundays. Sundays are very short school days, anyway.

Monday

*Bible

~10 Commandments (Ex. 20:1-17); 2 Chron. 12; Proverbs 18

Rehoboam had strengthened the kingdom of Judah after a few years of reigning, despite Jeroboam's revolt with the other tribes of Israel. As it so often is with people, after things start going really well for them, they decide they don't need God, anymore, and he and the people started doing things their own way. Shishak, the king of Egypt, came against Judah. The princes of Israel then humbled themselves, so Jehovah (YHVH) God of Israel had mercy on them and didn't let them be destroyed, though they still would have to be servants to Shishak. Rehoboam died, and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.

~Step Into Reading: "Oh My, Pumpkin Pie." (Sorry, no way to underline things on this blog, as far as I can tell.) I read the book to him, and then he read the book to me with assistance where needed.

~Complete Curriculum Grade 1: Reading Roundup in the Reading section. This was just a review of the unit 1. More of the same exercises.

*History

~Our Christian Heritage Grade 1: We talked more about how God is a family and that God is at the TOP, and so fathers are to obey God and be leaders and loving caretakers over their families, the mothers are to love and take care of the children, and the children are to obey their parents. Will had to memorize the ranking. We also learned that God is over the pastor of a church, the pastor over the teachers, the teachers over the children. In school, God is over the principal, the principal over the teachers, and the teachers over the children. This was teaching how God is over all the leaders in a community and not just family.
