Forest View Media Program
A good book is the best of friends, the same today and forever. Martin Farquhar Tupper
 
 
The Media Center is the heart of Forest View. Forest View’s Media center provides unlimited access to books computers and other resources. We have one of the largest elementary collections in the state. Our Media Center director is available for everything from: developing research curriculum with our teachers, discussing a new book series with a group of students, helping parents with their child’s reading, to tracking down a child’s favorite book. The center is abuzz with students checking out books, conducting research, and creating computer projects individually, in small groups, with tutors, and with their class. For more information about Forest View’s technology resources, click here. The Media Center is host to programs and projects throughout the year including: book fair, Elementary Battle of the Books, Read with the Blue Devils, and Wednesday with a Book. You may access the Forest View Media Collection at http://www.destiny.dpsnc.net. This site allows parents to search for books in the Forest View collection by subject, title and author. The site is also home to WebPath Express, “grade appropriate” list of web links for student research projects. At Forest View creating a lifelong love of reading and learning is central to our practice. We invite you to come check us out. http://www.forestview.dpsnc.net/~lindathttp://www.forestview.dpsnc.netshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1

Bedtime Around the World takes us around the world and back again before being tucked into bed for the night!
Reading just five to six books during the summer may keep students from falling behind. When choosing books, be sure that they are just right and spark an interest. The Durham Country Library will host a reading program this summer. It’s a great resource to keep your child reading over the summer.
