Learning Distinctions Between High Achievers and Gifted Learners
¨ High-Achieving Students: Know what it takes to be successful in school and are willing to put in the time and effort.
¨ Giftedness reflects innate advance aptitudes that may or may not emerge as exceptional academic talent over time.
¨ Gifted individuals view the world in different ways than others, and their thoughts , actions and feelings are more intense. It has been said that an exceptionally gifted individual sees the world as if she is looking through an electron microscope, as compared with normal vision. They see what others do not see, and what others cannot even imagine.

Mrs Famania's Class
Dear Parents and Guardians,
This semester in Mrs. Famania’s class, students participate
in a hands-on, integrated curriculum that focuses on the development of
science, math, English, and geography skills.
Through the inquiry process, students learn to ask questions and
systematically find answers to those questions. Middle school students will
apply these inquiry skills in their investigation theme of Zombie Apocalypse. Throughout the unit we will cover many
science standards, including, plant structures, ecosystems, changes in
environment, and structural and behavioral adaptions. Through research and planning we will also
work through problems that will require research, responding to reading,
collaboration, geography and economics.
Partial funding for the unit has come from a grant from APS and the
Phoenix Suns, we are currently waiting on money from them to purchase gardening
supplies.
At the end of the project I am asking each team to create a
presentation board to showcase their work.
Students will present their experience to their peers at the end of the
unit. Parent donations of rubber cement
and 36”x48” black trifold presentations boards will be greatly
appreciated.
Also, if you have experience with survival skills, first
aid, or other skills, and are interested in volunteering for a day to share
your knowledge, please contact me.
In addition to the project, if your student would like to
learn more about the subject, I am encouraging everyone to read a book this
semester (outside of ALPS). It could be
fictional or non-fiction, and it is free choice. Books on survival would be a great benefit
for students to relate to the unit and find outside knowledge.
Finally, to keep parents up to date on everything happening
this semester, please sign up on remind.com.
I created a special class for just this semester in order to ensure you
just receive texts regarding this class.
I have attached instructions of how to sign up.
Thank you for your continued support!
