How a Bill Becomes a Law


We are beginning a unit on our government and different things that go into how our country is run. In relation to this video, students should know the very basis of how a bill is made into a law. The students loved this video that I showed in class, and it can be both a helpful and entertaining way for them to remember the steps of how a bill becomes a law. Enjoy!!

Meet Miss Pruden

Hello Parents and Students,
       My name is Ms. Pruden, and this is my first year teaching at Fairview.  I am so excited for this year, with this wonderful class of  enthusiastic  learners. Although this is my first year teaching, this is not my first year being at Fairview. I attended Fairview for my elementary school years and I could not stay away from it, and missed it when I was in High School and College.  I recently graduated from Taylor University with a major in Elementary Education and a minor in Psychology. You will most likely find me doing something outside, as I love being in the outdoors. I am hoping to incorporate as much class work as I can outside, so that the students can realize that the world around them is a classroom, not just inside. If you ever have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me by email or phone.
