Directions for Dr. Seuss Green Eggs Slime
Step 1 – Make 2 Bowls: One for White Slime, One for Green Slime
Start by making your slime. Keep in mind, you want 2 separate bowls of slime. 1 bowl of white slime and one bowl of green slime.
Each bowl of slime will require the bottle of glue, 1/2 cup liquid starch and 1/2 cup water.
Step 2 – Make White Slime
For the white slime, just combine all of the ingredients, mix well and set aside.
Step 3 – Make Green Slime
For the green slime, make it just like you did above except you want to add 3-4 drops of green food coloring and 2-3 drops neon food coloring to the glue before you add the water and liquid starch.
You can add more or less food coloring depending on the color you want it to be. Just keep in mind the color will be a bit lighter after you add the liquid starch since it’s white in color.
Step 4 – Add the Green Yolk to the Slime Egg White
Once your slimes are made, add some of the white slime onto a plate or table and make it an egg shape. Then add a smaller amount of the green slime on top as the “yolk”.
Now you have a real green egg! {Giggle}

Our school does this too. It’s so annoying to have to think about whether my kid is sick enough to keep home. Younger kids especially tend to catch a lot of colds and may need more days off. Our school gets grumpy when the kids approach 10 excused absences. It doesn’t take much to reach that for my youngest, who throws up pretty much every time she has a cold – I think her stomach is really sensitive to post nasal drip or something.
Take it to the Education Dept and let them know of your problems and havo other Parents do it too so it’s not just you (a whinging mother). With any luck they will listen and tske action if not contact your local Government representative and see what they will do.
Parents need to remember that YOU ARE THE PARENT
YOU pay teacher salsries your taxes pay it all
for goodness sakes don’t allow tjis bullying
Nice little dig against homeschoolers who don’t experience the “real world”. I think they experience *more* of the real world when they are free of stupid attendance rules and can actually get out into that so-called real world.
Don’t send your sick kids to school. But otherwise, kids NEED to be in school. Highly trained professional teachers, no make up worksheets, are the reason behind academic success.
I whole heartedly agree with this post. I have had the same issue with my child’s public school in Florida. I have been told that doctor’s notes I have turned in are not acceptable. It’s a shame that these kids keep perpetuating the germ cycle because of the attendance rules. I also agree, don’t tell me how to parent my child!
I have been a public school teacher for 36 years in Minnesota and Wisconsin and I have never heard of the rules you speak of. In fact, I find the opposite to be true. I see sick kids coming to school and teachers like myself often sending them to the nurse to take temperatures have parents called to take them home. In many cases families are struggling financially and cannot afford to take a day off of work for a sick kid so they give them Tylenol and send them to school and hope for the best. When it wears off and the child’s fever spikes we call families to come and pick them up. Unfortunately everyone has now been exposed. Often times the student is back in school the very next day and they tell me they have not been to a doctor or are not taking an medicine. We then call home because of the 24 hour rule and parents are often upset that they have to come pick them up again. We do not have an award for perfect attendance or a truancy officer at the elementary level. The middle school and high school have more issues with students skipping school or staying home to care for younger children or elders or even work. We do track attendance for unexcused absences or chronic tardiness because it does interfere with academic growth and progress. If a parent calls in an absence it is considered excused even in the case of family events and vacations. I often send a journal to write about adventures and ask students to try to read while they are gone so they don’t lapse, but this is not required, but rather a suggestion. It is difficult to send home anything else that the student has not had direct instruction in, and I try to avoid busy work. I respect family time and leave all of this up to parent discretion. In terms of child counts that pertains more to enrollment rather than attendance. There may be some head counting due to the amount of families without permanent housing that we serve. In many cases they leave without telling us because they are living day to day and do not know what school we should forward records to. Sometimes I do get frustrated when I ask a student if they were sick and they say “No, my family said I could stay home for the day.” If I probe to find out why I am often told that they missed the bus and no one could bring them in. They share that they played video games all day and it was really fun. This makes me sad because it teaches students that school is not all that important. Good health and regular attendance are very important and I think the majority of schools and teachers do the best they can in maintaining both. I am sorry for your experience and hop that you don’t generalize it to all schools.
Please don’t assume to know things about homeschooled children. My son experiences the real world often, probably even more so than his Public school peers. He gets to volunteer at places, he goes everywhere with me and is in charge of handling things, A butcher shop ordering our meat for the week, the post office to learn how to send certain types of mail. He also has homeschooled peers and membership to the Y where he has access to groups of kids from different types of families. My daughter chooses public brick and mortar school and gets corrected for remotely standing incorrectly in line. If that is real world experience, no thank you!
How exactly are home schooled and private school kids not experiencing diversity or the “real world”? Have you visited all of them to make this assumption? Wow.
I’ll I agree and disagree with this article. This seems just school specific and not a “public” school thing. If your kid is sick then they are sick. Our school doesn’t want kids that shouldn’t be there to be there as that affects the well being of all. Truancy officers are only coming for the chronic absentees, not kids sick for surgery or strep. Count days are usually three times a year where it’s nice to have your kid there, but an excused absence still counts for your kid. This school sounds pretty extreme and it’s not the norm for all schools. Perfect attendance is ridiculous, but attendance is important to acandemic performance.
