The new comics and manga books that have been added to our collection have been a smash hit! The Garfield and Calvin and Hobbes have been hugely popular. The bin has been half full since the books arrived. It shows that these books are timeless and never go out of style!\r\n\r\nAdditionally the manga collection continues to be popular. Two of the series are consistently checked out, and some have lengthy waiting lists. The Kirby and Chi series remain at the top of my ciruculation reports. \r\n\r\nThese books all add to students' love of reading which supports a strong reading culture. While Garfield and Calvin and Hobbes are funny and touching, the manga series tap into strong themes, and encourage students to express themselves through art. All are part a larger initiative to reduce reliance on devices, and encourage students to engage their creativity and curiosity. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for your contribution!","fullyFundedDate":1763358018542,"projectUrl":"project/kids-love-comics/9540023/","projectTitle":"Kids Love Comics!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Chaney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bayfarn312"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3744","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":568,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":24,"percentAsian":36,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":25,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"20.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":90.1,"schoolId":3744,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bay Farm Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bay Farm Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/alameda-unified-school-district/bay-farm-elementary-school/3744"}
