Your thoughtful support directly benefits our students in grades 9–12 within the special education program. The larger mechanical pencils are especially helpful in supporting students with pencil grip, making writing tasks more comfortable and accessible.\r\n\r\nThe window privacy film has made a meaningful difference in our classroom by reducing glare from the windows while also providing additional privacy, creating a calmer and more focused learning environment. My students were truly excited to see and use the new supplies.\r\n\r\nI am very grateful for your kindness and investment in my students' success. Your generosity helps create a supportive space where students can learn, grow, and feel confident each day.

Your donation of paper, pencils, and notebooks has provided the essential foundation my students need as we dive into the complex world of Rational Expressions.\r\n\r\nWe are currently using these resources to navigate the rigorous multi-step processes of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing rational functions. Because these problems require significant \"scratch work\"—finding common denominators and tracking negative signs across long numerators—having a steady supply of paper has been a game-changer. I watched one student fill an entire page just to find a least common multiple, and for the first time, they didn't have to cram their work into the margins. They had the space to think clearly and organized. \r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, there was a sense of genuine relief. One student remarked, \"I can finally show all my steps without running out of room!\" In math, mistakes are part of the learning process, and seeing a fresh supply of pencils and paper gave them the confidence to try difficult problems without the fear of \"messing up\" their only sheet of paper. \r\n\r\nYour contribution has removed a significant barrier to learning, allowing my students to focus entirely on the logic and beauty of mathematics.

These tools not only help establish an organized and functional learning environment but also empower the teacher to focus on instruction and student engagement rather than scrambling for basic materials. For a special education setting, where individualized instruction and visual supports are key, having access to laminating materials and organizational tools like binders and folders allows the teacher to create durable, personalized resources that meet diverse student needs.\r\n\r\nBeyond the practical benefits, receiving these supplies also provides emotional support and encouragement. It sends a message that the teacher is valued and supported in their role, which can be especially meaningful during the often overwhelming first year. The Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards, in particular, offer access to creative, ready-to-use resources tailored for special education, saving time and enhancing lesson quality. Altogether, these supplies help build a strong foundation for a successful school year, allowing the teacher to focus on what matters most—supporting and empowering their students.","fullyFundedDate":1726355076478,"projectUrl":"project/first-year-special-educational-rockstar/8488910/","projectTitle":"First Year Special Educational Rockstar","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Horn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7155376_orig.jpg?crop=1170,1170,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743709806229","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7155376"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78496","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":221,"numTeachers":12,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":95,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":44.4,"schoolId":78496,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rocky Boy School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rocky Boy School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/montana/rocky-boy-school-district-87-j-l/rocky-boy-school/78496"}
