Skyline is thrilled to welcome graphic artist Gustav Carlson next week to help us celebrate Read Across America! Gustav is a Newton County Native with a degree in creative writing from UCA. He has worked as a professional illustrator and comic creator, whether working on his own comics, such as Eve of the Ozarks, or other work across a wide array of visual mediums. Gus will present to our third and fourth graders and lead them in interactive drawings.
We are super excited to welcome Dr. Ashley Wellman to Skyline next week to help us celebrate Read Across America!

Some third grade ChessKid superstars that have leveled up in their lessons!!! 👏🏻♟️👏🏻♟️
All elementary students received a free, GOLD account on ChessKid.com thanks to a generous grant. If you would like their login information, please send an email to Mrs. Motley kmotley@hps.k12.ar.us . Students can play and learn at home. We will be moving on to 3D printing next week, but we want their knowledge of the game to continue to grow.
During the month of January, our school wil be embarking on a special project, an all-school book club called One Book, One School. Every child will receive a copy of The World According to
Humphrey and will be asked to read it together at home over the next few weeks.
Your child received their book today during a special school-
wide assembly introducing the program and the book. Along with
the book, your child received a bookmark with a reading schedule so that you can keep up at home. Generally, you wil be asked to read about 15 minutes each night. We will also be sending audio links of the chapters read aloud through Remind. Be sure and look for daily updates and links on our school Facebook page as well.
In school, your child will be invited to answer daily trivia questions to encourage and reward attentive listening. You wil soon find that your child wil take pride in knowing and anticipating the details of the story. You wil want to make sure your family keeps up so that your child can be included.
Throughout the event, everyone wil be engaging in a shared conversation.
We know that you'll enjoy this special reading time with your children. We look forward to sharing this experience with you.
"When a whole school reads a book, there's a lot to talk about."
With your help, we can build a Community of Readers at our school!!
