Just Like You - Down Syndrome

I shared this video last year, and am sharing again because the Down Syndrome Guild of Greater Kansas City did such a wonderful job with the Just Like You advocacy and awareness video.

It's nice to see the different sets of friends and hear them talking about their friendships.

I was thinking of sharing this video with Kayla's class - 4th graders. The video is 13 minutes long, do you think that age group will maintain interest in this video, or is it too long to show during my talk? I haven't yet talked with her teacher so I'm not sure how much time I'll even have in the classroom. I like to show a picture of Kayla's chromosomes and just talk about why she has Down syndrome and then a little bit about what that means for Kayla.
