NEW YORK - Students at a Staten Island, N.Y., elementary school for autistic children really like the way singer-actress Jennifer Lopez moves.

So teacher Kathy Amati showed the video for Lopez's "Let's Get Loud'' to the students at Public School 37.

The children liked it so much they wanted to watch it every day, eventually learning 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 10- and 11-year-olds at their graduation ceremony.
