Summer Activities Calendar

Dear Parents of Grades 3-6 Students:

Throughout the year, we encourage every student at Sherwood Elementary to demonstrate their Archer Actions, academically and socially! As an approach to encourage our students to continue their learning, we would offer the following Summer Activities Calendar for your family! In the monthly calendars, activities include: fitness skills, academic skills, and Archer Actions. Please have your student color in each square as it is completed. Then, perhaps brainstorm a reward that would be manageable for home.

Thanks for helping to keep our students’ minds and bodies healthy!

Sincerely,

The Sherwood Elementary Staff

Student’s Name: _______________

Also, remember our Archer Actions are:

● Take care of self. ● Take care of others. ● Take care of our environment. ● Be a problem solver.

*Parent approval should occur before each activity is completed. This Summer Activities Calendar is NOT required; only a resource for families during the summer months.
