New Do

My wonderful stylist at Shannon Alexsandr Salon (Justine Brock) dyed my hair on Thursday to get me all Fallified. It ended up being darker than I had expected, but I was willing to give it a chance. My students on the other hand were not so sure. From the minute that the kiddos walked into school on Friday morning, the talk of the third grade hallway was my new-do. Mrs. Bowman dyed her hair, Mrs. Bowman has new hair. .  the kids were going crazy, all because of my hair.

Here are some of the hair quotes.

"Mrs. Bowman...is that permanent...is it permanent...is it permanent...is it permanent?" (One of my students during a Math lesson. After he asked me four times, I realized that ignoring him wasn't going to work.) Finally I said, "No it isn't." and he said, "Whew...so it'll change back in a few weeks?" So I said, "No...Don't you like it." "Eh, good enough," he said.

"Mrs. Bowman, I  thought yo hair was mixed!"

Really sweet (normally) little girl in Mrs. Zeller's room, "Mrs. Bowman, why did you dye your hair. It looked good before. Now it looks a little bit more horrible."

Uh wow. . .
Let's just say that it was quite the distraction throughout the day.

Let's also say that I may just have had Justine add a few highlights.
