This week’s word:
ACHIEVE
The verb achieve means
to succeed in reaching a
goal, usually with effort.
Henry was able to achieve
his goal of running two
miles per day.
Try to use the word achieve
in a sentence today when
talking with your friends
and family members.
Rounding Off
Find items for sale in the newspaper that are
advertised for more than $100 and less than
$1,000. List the numbers and then round
them to the nearest $10. Next round off the
biggest to the nearest $100.
How could you turn
one dollar into ten
dollars or more?
