ESU 16 School Psychologists had a blast visiting the OWLS Program. It was community day so we worked out, made a Easter door decoration, had a pizza day where they got to order delivery for the first time, and watered the plants at the greenhouse for their upcoming plant sale in May! Laurie & Ashlie are doing such a wonderful job teaching these wonderful students job and life skills. Way to go OWLS!!!!
You can use a variety of tools to teach letters, writing, and develop fine motor skills and strength when you use Universal Design Learning in Early Childhood. These are just a few examples from a preschool classroom all children can access to learn multiple skills.
Wishing Board Member Bill a very Happy Birthday! Have a wonderful day!
UDL in Early Childhood happens! This quick easy breathing strategy sticks to the table so young children can use it to help calm themselves when upset, to keep their focus and attention, or to get the sensory input they need.

Our journey with Universal Design Learning in Early Childhood continues with seating options. Young children often need a variety of seating options to meet their needs for movement, engagement, or sensory needs.

The OWLS student's participated in a Putt-Putt Challenge put on by Mid-Plains Community College for college students. We learned we all need a LOT of practice, but a couple of them came pretty close to winning!
Universal Design Learning happens in early childhood classrooms. Our first UDL feature is using a communication button to teach letters and letter sounds. Each child activates the button to hear the letter and sound and then repeats it creating an engaging way to learn!
The OWLS students have 2 Valentine's Day mats available!! The first 2 people to fill out the Google form will be able to purchase.
