One poster titled I Can Help Our Planet. Four boxes explain Reduce (Use less.), Reuse (Use things again.), Recycle (Turn old things into new things.) and Renew (Help nature grow back.), each with an I can idea, such as turning off the tap while brushing teeth or planting a tree.
Can I use the Four Ways to Help Our Planet Poster at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for 2nd Grade to 5th Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

1 printable resource, free to preview. There are 62 Earth Day resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our Earth Day activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are Earth Day resources for?
⌄
These are written for 2nd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 7-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these Earth Day resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 2nd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
