The vests go home and are done as a family project. Families are encouraged to decorate the vests using magazines, pictures, drawings, words, pictures they printed, or objects. We encourage them to have fun and be creative! There is a note explaining this included in ABC BOOTCAMP!
The vests will return to school 2-3 days before the fashion show. This gives us time to help anyone who didn’t have a vest made. We usually have a couple that need to be made at school. This gives us time to ensure we’re all ready for the show!
The Fashion Show
We do the fashion show in our classroom and invite families. We have seen schools go out and make this a huge event. Either way works. We love both ideas. We watch videos of fashion shows and practice walking the runway.
For the fashion show, we use our LED lights and play Vogue by Madonna!
ABC BOOTCAMP PARADE
Another thing we do to celebrate and involve the entire school is an ABC BOOTCAMP parade. The entire school lines the hallways, and the kindergarteners parade through the halls. It’s such a positive experience and can boost the school’s morale. Plus, the kids LOVE it and are so excited to be in a parade!
So, what are we celebrating? We’re celebrating the growth and progress we made in 26 days using ABC BOOTCAMP! We’re celebrating that ABC BOOTCAMP WORKS AND WORKS INCREDIBLY WELL!
We commissioned a blind study, and here are the results of that study which included 200 classrooms!
