Early childhood educators had an incredible time at Tiny Toy Tales with Kassie Misiewicz from Focus 5.

Educators explored strategies that directly support CLASS dimensions like Language Modeling, Concept Development, and Teacher Sensitivity, all while learning how to spark creativity and connection in their classrooms using the tiniest of props. Thanks to Kassie for showing us that big learning really can come in small packages.
