NEW YORK (AP) — Students at a Staten Island, New York, elementary school for autistic children sure like the way Jennifer Lopez moves.

Teacher Kathy Amati and a paraprofessional showed the video for Lopez's "Let's Get Loud" to the students at P.S. 37. The children liked it so much, they wanted to watch it every day.

They learned the lyrics and the dance moves from the video.

With their teacher's encouragement, they wrote to Lopez, hoping for pictures or an autograph. Instead, she asked to come to their graduation.

On Tuesday, the singer-actress performed "Let's Get Loud" for a group of eight 10- and 11-year-olds at their graduation ceremony.

OK I love her now!!!!!

OK I love her now!!!!!

Me too!

What an awesome thing to do!!!

I thought it seems like a very nice thing for her to have done... I'm sure it made those kids day, that's for sure. And it doesn't seem like it was a publicity thing either, since it was just the kids and their families. I love to see famous people do something out of the good of their hearts.

Okay, I've always loved J Lo, but this makes me FLOVE her! What an incredibly sweet thing to do.

My son (also autistic) used to LOVE it when I played her second album. It's catchy and I guess her voice is pleasant to a young child's ears.

That's a really sweet and selfless thing to do, not only to read their fan mail, but also pay attention to the situation enough to want to perform for them. :wub

I know right! Most stars charge out the wahzoo for what she did. I think it is fantastic that she would care so much about her little fans!

I cried when I read this story on the comcast home page.

I've always loved that girl, but that is just awesome of her!

That is so amazing!Especially since she asked to come!I love seeing stories like this..it's nice to know that in the crazy world of Hollywood there are still caring people there.I have so much more respect for her now!
