Begin by welcoming the students and setting a positive tone. Introduce the title of the lesson and explain that today we're celebrating and learning about the special experiences of military children.

Explain briefly what a military family is. Use simple language and ask a couple of questions to ensure students understand the concept.

Prepare to read the storybook. Remind the students to listen carefully and consider asking questions as you read to maintain engagement.

Introduce the craft activity by guiding the students on what to create as a symbol of support. Remind them to share their work with a classmate after completion.

Recap the lesson with a discussion. Encourage students to express one thing they learned about military children to reinforce empathy and understanding.
