Dear LINC students,

Welcome to the first month of CLB 4 evening classes here at One World One Centre in Edmonton! I hope you have a pleasant time learning English and making new friends this year. Please, follow the school policies and procedures, especially the attendance rules. The part-time evening LINC program runs from Sept. 7th, 2016 to Jun. 22nd, 2017. This September and October we are focusing on the Education theme.

Last year OWOC installed an electronic key entry to get into the school building. Here is what you must do to enter the school building in the evening. Firstly, you must remember the 4 digit code that the teacher gives each student. Secondly, you must type the 4 numbers into the keypad at the side of the east entrance door. Next, when the red light on the keypad turns green, you can open the door and enter the building. Finally, it is important that you do NOT give the code to anyone who is NOT a student at OWOC. Also, in the winter when it is cold, the keys on the keypad might stick. If this happens, please, type in the numbers slowly, so the keypad will work.

All the best,

Teacher Wiktor

Mr. Moser: Well, there is something that concerns both of us. She is facing problems in Math.

Daniel: Is it about her grades? I noticed on the last report card that she’s doing well in reading and writing but she’s slipping in Math.

Mr. Moser: She’s struggling with basic multiplication and divisions. She has problems multiplying small digits.

Daniel: What can we do to help her? My Math is also not good.
