Roosevelt Franklin Elementary School is the elementary school that Roosevelt Franklin attended. Sometimes, Roosevelt would sneak into a class when the teacher wasn't around and teach the class himself.

Roosevelt's classmates/pupils included Hard Head Henry Harris, Smart Tina, Suzetta, Baby Bree Boo Bop A Doo, and Baby Breeze. All of these characters were voiced by the same people who played the adults on Sesame Street.

The blackboard background used in these skits was recycled for the song "Sound It Out."

	To Be Born a Duck	Episode 0731	With the class singing along (and Hard Head Henry Harris providing a snare beat on his desk), Roosevelt teaches a story about pride in oneself. The story involves a duck who is told by a chicken that it's "bad luck to be born a duck," because a duck can't cluck or do anything a chicken can do.
