Socio-economic access to toys.

Prep Students are only limited by the limits put on them by others. Young children can do amazing things as long as they clearly understand what they have to do! Our current Inquiry is Toy Story. The Central Idea is: Toys have changed over time due to technology. The lines of inquiry that will define the scope of the inquiry into the central idea is: -Technology has changed toys over time. -Toys are made from a variety of material and in different ways. -Socio-econ… Continue
