Dear Journal, Today has been a tiring and long day. Work was hectic today, I don’t know why the children were all so hyper. Maybe it was because they all got new microchips inserted a week ago. This usually happens as they get excited, testing all the new skills and knowledge they receive. Chloe made me my favourite breakfast today, waffles topped with whip cream fresh strawberries and Nutella. We woke up early enough and had breakfast as a family, all of us; Chole, Maddy and Anthony. We talked about the kid’s birthday plans next week, they turn 12 on Wednesday. We are thinking of having a soccer themed party at our home, the kids favourite sport. The broadcasting was playing in the background as we listened to the news for the day. Before I left for work, I promised them the party would happen. As I quickly grabbed my wallet, keys and school bag, Chole kissed me goodbye as she handed me my lunch bag. I jumped in my white tesla and peacefully drove to work. When I got to school, the daily routine began. I greeted my fellow teaching collogues and set up the classroom. BOOONNGGGG! The school bell rang and the students began to loudly shuffle the hallways to their classrooms. I always have my students line up outside the door, as our study unit has been proper manners. My class must quietly wait outside the classroom in single file, shake my hand and look into my eyes saying “good morning.” They quietly make a circle in the classroom and wait for everyone to be seated. The Mayor speaks the morning announcements as I take attendance. If anyone interrupt, they are immediately kicked out to be scolded by their parents. I speak the lesson of the day as the class soaks in the information. Word of the day “generous.” I spoke about generosity and how important it is to show this trait in everyday life. We must show kindness and be selfless in our life. The next 2 weeks my class will document the ways in which they show generosity, in any form they wish…a song, a poem, a story, a piece of art. Lina then comes in with lunch as they remain in the circle and quietly eat lunch. At recess, they play in the field, making up fun games with one another. In the afternoon, they attend the respective class that corresponds to their microchip as they perfect the knowledge and skill related to their age. Finally, its 3:30pm! The children run out the doors to their mothers picking them up. I finally lock up my classroom and leave for the day. I am greeted by Chole and the kids when I make it home. The house smells of a delicious aroma. Chole truly is the best cook. As dinner is cooking, I relax on the couch and watch the news. Dinner is finally ready; broccoli soup, potatoes, bean salad and cinnamon buns for dessert. So amazing, I am so full now. We get ready for bed and all gather as a family by the fireplace. Movie night, one of my favourite things to do as a family. As the movie ends, we all dose off and go to bed. Thank you for another great day in the dome!

Goodnight journal – Marc!
