We began the class by reviewing parts of Chapter 7 from before break. Then we watched a movie called "The Original Top Ten".
It is Miss Stephanie's movie from when she was our age! We
loved watching the movie and it was also funny to watch Miss Stephanie sing
along with all the songs. She said that when she was little she would watch it
with her sister all the time. They loved the songs. We thought it was a great
way to learn about the 10 Commandments.
After that, we took 10 minutes and everyone tried to write down all of the commandments that they could think of by themselves. We thought about what we talked about in the book and saw in the movie.Then we worked at our tables and tried to come up with the rest. A few of the tables got stuck and sent a representative to another table to ask someone who had all 10 of them. We worked really well together to try to come up with them all without adult help!
Then Miss Stephanie read from the Bible and we checked them off as we went along.
20 And God spoke all these words:
2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you
out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
3 “You shall have no other gods before[a] me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of
anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You
shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your
God, am a jealous God,punishing the children for the sin of the parents to
the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but
showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my
commandments.
7 “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God,
for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six
days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is
a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work,
neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor
your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six
days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all
that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day.Therefore the Lord blessed
the Sabbath day and made it holy.
12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live
long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
13 “You shall not murder.
14 “You shall not commit adultery.
15 “You shall not steal.
16 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not
covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or
anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
