The process of how a bill becomes law is a fascinating process that is much more than just a Representative or Senator introducing a bill and having it move through the process to its eventual demise or addition to another bill or to the bill ending up on the President’s desk itself.

Plus, screen time has been linked to eating more, having trouble sleeping and poorer performance in school. Here are some ways to limit screen time.
Use this resource set to guide young learners as they explore and interpret a diverse group of six artworks from the Virginia Museum of Arts collection.
Under the "suggested activities" menu next to each artwork, you will find link to an educator-led "Little Eyes Look" video. Using an inquiry-based approach that fosters curiosity and creative thinking, educators introduce viewers to vocabulary related to both art-making and the subjects depicted in the artworks. Students consider artistic intention and decision-making and are supported by factual content about artists's lives and art-making practices.
Three open-ended engagement activities are also suggested with each work. These simple exercises can be used to foster extended thinking about each piece.
