June 14 STEAM Stars: Created grass heads to study how vegetation prevents erosion and created bird viewers

We studied the importance of irrigation, grass, and vegetation to preventing erosion during our last STEAM Stars. We studied birds that have habitats near or in water and the Alton Dam and Locks Interpretive Center. Each child created and decorated a grass head planter with watering and growing schedule. Each child also created and decorated their own bird watcher to be able to focus clearly on birds in their habitats.
