Words for the planet and for cleaning up
The first half names what the planet is made of and what grows on it: earth, soil, water, air, a seed, a plant and a tree. The rest is about trash and making less of it: reduce, reuse, recycle and compost, with clean, green and nature. The words are printed on the sheets with no claims or slogans, so a class can talk about them in its own way.

Questions and answers
When is Earth Day?
April 22 every year, which is why April is the last word on the list. The sheets carry no date or year, so they print the same each spring.
Are reduce, reuse and recycle on the list?
Yes, all three, along with trash and compost. They are on the print sheet and the cursive sheet, and the sloped example has them in a row.
Can young children trace these Earth Day words?
The Big letters sheet has seven short words for them: tree, plant, seed, soil, water, air and clean, at the Ages 3-4 size.
Do the sheets have any coloring pictures?
No. They are handwriting sheets: each word in dark letters, then pale letters to go over, then room to write it alone.
Can the list include words from a school garden?
Yes. Add words such as worm, bean or sunflower to the generator box, separated by commas, and print the new sheet.
