New York - They may not know how famous she is, but the students at a New York City elementary school for autistic children sure like the way Jennifer Lopez moves.
The Bronx-born singer and actress visited PS 37 on Staten Island on Tuesday to perform her song Let's Get Loud for a group of eight 10-and-11-year-olds at their graduation ceremony.
Teacher Kathy Amati says the children "really like her singing and dancing".
Amati had shown the video for Let's Get Loud to the students.
They loved it so much they wanted to watch it every day - and learned the lyrics and dance moves from the video.
With their teacher's encouragement, the boys wrote Lopez, hoping for pictures or an autograph. Instead, Lopez asked to come to their graduation.
