Photo and Image Credits
Many lessons across grades K–12 include historical, nature and science photos sourced from Wikimedia Commons and similar public archives. Every one of those photos is either in the public domain (including CC0) or released under a Creative Commons Attribution or Attribution-ShareAlike license that permits reuse with credit. No “non-commercial” or “no-derivatives” images are used, and nothing else was used.
Those photos remain under their own original license, separate from the curriculum text. The required credit line for each photo is already printed directly under the image and again in a credits section inside the file it appears in. If you print or copy a lesson containing a photo, please keep that credit attached to it — it is a condition of the photo's own license, not just a courtesy.

The cursive handwriting-practice worksheets embed the “Dancing Script” typeface by Pablo Impallari, used under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which permits embedding, redistribution, and offline use at no cost. The font's full license text is available from the Google Fonts and SIL Open Font License project pages. The copyright notice and full license text are reproduced below, as the license requires.
