LatinAmericanIdol Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 So we just came up with another Madonna-insprired project where we had our kindergartners reinvent the alphabet with 26 Madonna songs. I tried to make it a point to use at least one song from every studio album. The kids LOVED working on this project and it's so gratifying to hear them randomly singing Madonna songs throughout the day (as well as seeing them eagerly learn their letters). It's kinda fun for adults to watch too :-)
Lights Above Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 That is so adorable and inventive! My favorite part was W for Wig
Guest ditaluver Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 awww that was friggen awesome! fantastic work!!!!!!!
Mmmmm Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 The teacher must be a huge Madonna fan. Yes get them young!! More Madonna mini fans!!
Raf Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Great job! I especially loved the bit where they recreated the end of the Rain video... Adorable, all the way through!
LatinAmericanIdol Posted October 27, 2014 Author Posted October 27, 2014 Thank you!!! I personally have a soft spot for "U is for umbrella" because it gave us a chance to recreate that last umbrella scene from the "Rain" video
nick00 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Those kids are extremely cute & they look like they are having a super fun time.
karbatal Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 OMG, it's incredibly beautiful! I so hope that Madonna could see this video she would love it!
karbatal Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Thank you!!! I personally have a soft spot for "U is for umbrella" because it gave us a chance to recreate that last umbrella scene from the "Rain" video The little girl being Madonna in that scene is so cute!!!!
Crystal Coffin Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I honestly thought this was a news on her ACTUALLY TEACHING ALPHABETS to those poor illiterate Pakistani girls
madonnasuperfan01 Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 That's so cute and inventive! They're lucky to have a great teacher like you
Guest TearsInHeaven Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 haha i love it! they are absolutely adorable and i am sure you are their favorite teacher! what do the parents say?
Bretticus Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I admire your ability to link the track "Holiday" with a zoo!
Guest Rachelle of London Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I always love seeing your class. So cute
Jazzy Jan Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 This is so brilliant, innovative and cute. Love how you worked all of the letters in such beautiful ways. For example, Octopus with Deeper and Deeper and X-ray with the line of I've got you under my skin from Love Profusion was so cute and sweet . I would have loved to have you as my teacher and I bet those gorgeous kids love you. Wonderful job.
datf Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 this is a very nice video. but to be honest, when the kids say b is for buhbuhbuh, i was thinking boobs (and madonna hitching a ride with nothing on). when they said c is for cuhcuhcuh, i was thinking cock, and it got worse when the next kid said camel like cum-mel. and d makes the sound of duhduhduh... dick lol. f makes the sound of fuufuu fuuu...... fuck! p makes the sound of puh puh puh... pussy.
Jazzy Jan Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 For goodness sake, there is a time and place for everything. Talking like that when regarding children is not on and bad taste.
karbatal Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 A question: why did you chose that remix for Ray of Light instead of the regular chorus?
LatinAmericanIdol Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 A question: why did you chose that remix for Ray of Light instead of the regular chorus? At first, I DID use the regular version of ROL. It started off with the guitar intro and the kids moving their glow sticks slowly before bursting into high-speed. However, that version was almost a minute long and YouTube blocked it. I had to trim the clip to less than 30 secs, and I felt safer using a remix to avoid being blocked again. I also had to trim down the clips for "Dear Jessie," "Material Girl," and "Rain." It hurt to butcher it down, but I had to make those modifications for YouTube purposes.
LatinAmericanIdol Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 Aw. Well done as always, LatinAmericanIdol! Thank you! I was THIS close to asking you about editing a few songs for us, but we managed. I'm still very grateful that you helped us out with TUTBMP a while back :-)
LatinAmericanIdol Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 haha i love it! they are absolutely adorable and i am sure you are their favorite teacher! what do the parents say? The parents LOVE it. No one (thus far) seems to have a problem with it.
Jazzy Jan Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Did the children have a favourite song ? This would be a great video to show for children trying to learn the alphabet. Would be great if it was used in lots of schools as well.

Would be great if it was used in lots of schools as well. It was a little surprising to see which songs they loved best (but that could do with the music videos themselves). The really LOVED Give it 2 Me, Jump, Open Your Heart, and Ray of Light. I posted the video on some education pages and it seems to be getting passed around. Many teachers have already told me they're using in their classrooms and the kids love it.
Flip The Switch Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 I hope you continue spreading the Madonnica knowledge to the younger generations. Fantastic!
Plasticlimbo Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Oh my, the girl in 'Rain', with the umbrellas, made me cry!!! so beautiful!!!
LatinAmericanIdol Posted October 29, 2014 Author Posted October 29, 2014 Spreading the Madonnica knowledge is always fun and creating these videos is always rewarding, but the cherry on top of all this was the recognition we received from the Los Angeles Times yesterday... http://www.latimes.com/local/education/la-me-beat-kindergarten-vogue-20141027-story.html
