Some Explanation...

You might wonder why almost all of my songs involve "5 little...". It is so hard for most of my special education students to memorize songs so I try to keep things as repetitive as possible so they can begin to concentrate on other things like counting to 5 :) once they've memorized the song. I also have a hard time teaching the concept of "How many?" and by counting every single day with these songs and asking "How many?" before we begin to sing each verse, they get lots of exposure and practice.
