The Armor of God

HISTORY/SCRIPTURES - In our ongoing study of King Arthur and knights, we decided to take a day to study armor and it's meaning in the scriptures. The first order of the day was to get everyone outfitted with various armor. We learned that the early knights would have just worn boiled leather, then armor evolved into chain mail, then a mixtures of chain mail and plated armor, until the picture of knights we think of now with a full suit of plated shining armor.
The scriptures we explored were: Romans 13:12 "let us put on the armor of light," 2 Nephi 1:23 "put on the armor of righteousness," and Ephesians 6:13-15 and D&C 27:15-17 which are both the same and describe what each part of the armor of God represents, as follows:
Helmet - salvation
Breastplate - righteousness
loins guard - truth
feet shod - gospel of peace
Shield - faith
Sword - Spirit and word of God
Gauntlet - we read scriptures about hands and decided that the gauntlet represented service, as in lifting those who are downtrodden and laying on of hands in the Priesthood

MATH - We continued with the Life of Fred. Jared and Beryl are moving forward on operations using large numbers while continuing to work on double and triple digit multiplication and the girls worked on filling in the holes on hundreds charts and did a great job.
