Counting By Fives — by Little Miss Ann
Little Miss Ann (Ann Torralba) has made several award-winning kids’ songs. Before she became a kids’ musician, she was a Chicago Public School teacher working with kids on the Spectrum. This is the first song she ever wrote for kids. Years later, when her daughter was in 2nd grade, she recorded this song in her classroom at Burley Elementary School and included it on her album, “Clap for Love”. The kids that recorded this song are now all off to college this year and this video celebrates their next journeys.
