Since we have been homeschooling, we have struggled with giving Makaela quantative grades; ie: A, B,C, 100%, 80%, etc. I would write some of these at the top of her page, other times, I would put stickers or simply write "Good Job", "Wonderful work", things like that, but that is not what we wanted for her. Well, we came across another system, where this family used a different kind of numbering system. They used the number "5" as the highest number. When the child had accumulated 25 "5's", they were able to pick out a special activity or reward to celebrate their achievement.
Well, we have decided to use the number "4" as our number of accomplishment. Ever since I have known Allen Sr., he has always used the number "444" as special number for our family for which he will have to give the story some time at another date. In short, it stands for "4 God, 4 Love, 4 Ever". Makaela and Allen Jr. are both familiar with this being a special number for our family. So, we are going to set a pretty good size reward when Makaela reaches 44 "4's".
