Welcome to my class, and to your new AVID family! You will be using this website throughout the school year, so make sure you know how to find it quickly (you can bookmark it, you can Google "senor garnet", or you can scan the QR code in the classroom).

Your regular homework assignments will be posted in the following format:
HW #??: Homework title as it will appear on Aeries
Description of assignment, including page numbers, links to worksheets or other resources, instructions, etc.

So, here is your first one:
HW #01: Senorgarnet.weebly.com Contact
Your first assignment (HW #01) is to use my contact page to send me an email. This is to make sure you know how to contact me, and so we can work out any contact problems right at the start of the year. Please let me know if you have any problems!!!

To get credit, you must include:

Your first and last name, class period, and a valid email address that I can reply to if needed
Tell me about something that has helped you be successful in a previous class, or really enjoy it
Tell me something that frustrates you in school, or makes it hard for you to succeed

Share something interesting about yourself

1. Something that has helped me to be successful is that I always study for my tests and I always do my homework. 2. Something that frustrates me is when something is confusing or if I get a bad grade. 3. I like to hang out with my friends and play video games on my spare time.

Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
