Cynics and misanthropes get ready because this video has the ability to melt even the most frozen of hearts.
Kindergarten teachers Arturo Avina and Katey Bolanos, along with their classroom of child prodigies from the Olympic Primary Center in Los Angeles, have taken the alphabet to a whole new level by setting it to an all-Madonna soundtrack.
“In a nutshell, my colleague and I had our kindergarten students reinvent the alphabet by filming 26 mini-music videos set to 26 different Madonna songs,” Avina tells Queerty. “Who knew Madonna songs could teach the alphabet, right?”
Mr. Avina and his voguing kindergarteners pulled out all the stops for this epic, 12-minute video. Costumes. Masks. Lights. Elaborate sets. Dance moves. You name it. And the results are truly Madonnalicious.
So sit back, relax, and check out their video below.
UPDATE: This just made our Monday. The kindergarteners at Olympic Primary Center were so excited to see their video featured on Queerty that they just tweeted this photo. You’re welcome, kids!
Happy kindergarteners send thanks to @Queerty & @grahamgremore for supporting their Madonna alphabet video! pic.twitter.com/hcNWJY1xTv

What a cool idea and teacher. This is a great way to get kids involved in the learning process. All of my favorite teachers from high school or college were the ones who thought of creative ways to connect information to learning.

Please stop posting about this whore, who helped spread AIDS among the Gay community just so she could sell records. She is no Lady Gaga, who can actually sing, dance and play instruments. Because of Lady Gaga, we now have gay marriage and gays can serve in the military. Madonna only became famous because she ripped off the hard work of others. She is not a legend. She is not even human.

@MinusSize Don’t hold back!!! How do you really feel. Dude, what these kids did was great and I think that it’s incredibly creative of the teachers to put in a amazing amount of work. Gaga is to you what M was to my generation. Gaga had nothing to do with gay marriage it was a natural evolution and if she said something good then good for her!

MinusSize… Your comment just proves how stupid you Monsters are. The only Minus in Size about you is your brains!
Madonna did not promote spread of AIDS haha!
She was actually one of the first mainstream artists to rally the fight against AIDS and promote compassion for those with HIV/AIDS in the 80’s. Madonna stood up for gay rights long before it was the politically correct thing to do. Heck, even gay stars were still in the closet when Madonna fought or spoke out for them.
Everyone else who followed suit (including Reductive GooGoo) just jumped on the bandwagon!

@MinusSize: I don’t get angry easily but you’re so sorely misinformed and uneducated it is just mind boggling.
1. Equal marriage was in MA long before Gaga was on the music scene. While I enjoy her music, she had NOTHING to do with it.
2. I’m not a huge Madonna fan, BUT, she was speaking out in support of the Gay community long before it was acceptable or even politically correct.
3. Just how did Madonna help spread AIDS to the gay community? Were you there? Did you see her spreading it herself personally?
Your ignorance and childishness is just mind boggling. I would suggest reading about the AIDS crisis and its REAL causes and not cast blame where there is no blame due.

This is sooo cute. I work with Kindergarten teachers and can’t even imagine how much time this took in and out of the classroom. Does anyone know where it was posted originally? I don’t think Queerty was their original target audience. Lol I would like to share this with the teachers I work with, but… I think you can figure out the rest.
I hope Madonna sees this!
