Month of the Military Child

by Dawn Maerten

April has been designated the Month of the Military Child. In our community there is a large population of military affiliated students. Local Education Agencies (LEA) receive Impact Aid from the federal government to offset the cost of public school educational expenses for military affiliated children. Some of this money is allocated to school libraries. Military children face unique challenges. They are faced with either their mother, father, or both parents deploying for long periods of time. This collection contains ideas, books, videos, and activities to use during the Month of the Military Child. Librarians can introduce this unit in the library and it can be followed up either in the classroom or continued in the library. It is important that military children no matter their age can see themselves in the books they are reading.

SGT Mike's Neighborhood Clips - YouTube If you live in the Ft. Bragg area, this puppet show can be scheduled through ACS (Army Community Service). This was a show that Lenny Gonzalez created as traveling puppet show that gave information to the soldier's children. He wanted to create a series out of it to put on the Bragg TV Channel. I really enjoy the fact that supporting a Garrison as large as Fort Bragg, I never know what is coming.
