White versus Brown Eggs: what's the difference?
Picture
In two or three sentences, explain what you think is the difference between a white egg and a brown egg?
When Miss D was first asked this question many many years ago during her first class visit to the Country Fair Agricultural Seminar, she had no idea ... so being silly she made a guess and said, "Nothing. There is no difference"...
Well, it turns out her guess was correct and there is absolutely no difference in a white or brown egg...

So, if that is true then you might ask,
Why are the eggs placed in different separate containers?
Why does one container with the exact number of eggs cost more than the other?


In a short paragraph explain why you think they are placed in separate containers and why is does one container with the exact number of eggs cost more than the other

Sight words build speed and fluency when reading. Accuracy, speed, and fluency in reading increase reading comprehension. The sight words are a collection of words that a child should learn to recognize without sounding out the letters. The sight words are both common, frequently used words and foundational words that a child can use to build a vocabulary. Combining sight words with phonics instruction increases a child’s speed and fluency in reading.
