Thank you Dr. Galiana for all that you do!

@PixtonEDU I'm trying to add more than 3 co-teachers to a class page. Can you help me with this?!? HELPPPPPP!!!

This 8th grader is spoiling me with nailing #python functions in #remotelearning using @CodeHS 🤜 🤛 @GirlsWhoCode #STEMinist #CometStrong

My #STEM students are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! #Coding #python @CodeHS #CometStrong @anibalgaliana @robsanchez23

Today we introduced a new unit on #coding, just in time for #HourOfCode next week! To kick off the unit, we played @gimkit with the new #AmongUs theme! #CometStrong

Last week, our 6th graders had a belated #HispanicHeritageMonth guest speaker, Dr. Melissa Gonzalez. She spoke about being a 1st generation immigrant pursuing medicine and working as a woman of color during COVID. Her best advice: Read! #WomenInSTEM #remotelearning

Last week, our STEM class had a guest speaker... Dr. Melissa Gonzalez! She spoke about pursuing a STEM related field and the challenges as a woman of color. “Things that are worth doing are always going to be... difficult...” #remotelearning #Motivation @NewJerseyDOE

For our unplugged STEM unit, this all star 7th grader asked to create an origami kusudama! #CometStrong @Postit

Forget Zoom & Meets... our STEM class met in a #VirtualReality classroom using @FrameVR! Complete with video, audio, avatars, and a whiteboard!

Students explaining possible solutions by moving only ONE stick to make the equation true! #remotelearning #criticalthinking Thanks for the inspiration @GiftedTawk

In STEM class, we've been studying different mediums of media & learned that GIFs can convey emotion. This 8th grader chose the emotion: Digital Battle #RemoteLearning @anibalgaliana @robsanchez23 @HMSComets

We celebrate our individuality by creating class avatar pictures using @PixtonEDU When we physically cannot be together, at least our avatars can hang! #CometStrong @anibalgaliana @HMSComets

HMS STEM students - I don't know what the plan is exactly for the fall, but whatever it is, I am thinking of you tonight and can't wait to see you, either in person or digitally! Send me an email if you need me! [email protected] #CometStrong

This week in #STEM class, we learned about avatars and how they can ensure digital privacy. Check out our avatar class photo! Still together, through #RemoteLearning @Pixton #CometStrong

I love when you teach functions in Google Sheets, and a student uses functions to color code pixel art! docs.google.com/spreadsheets… This was just for fun and enthusiastically shared by an 8th grader! #RemoteLearning #CometStrong

Have you tried to code the Earth 🌎? Do you know how difficult it is? This 7th grader nailed it! gymstage.pencilcode.net/home… #remotecoding #CriticalThinking #CometsWhoCode #CometStrong
