Ms. Roberta makes monthly visits to our classrooms at the Franklin Building. She talks with the children about her friend, Twiggle the Turtle. Twiggle has a difficult time sometimes and needs reminded of how to manage his feelings. Through the stories and activities that Ms. Roberta shares, Twiggle teaches the children about how to express their feelings in an appropriate way – feelings like anger, sadness, fear, happiness, etc.
Ms. Roberta has also taught the children how to do “the Turtle!” Ask your child about the Turtle. If they aren’t sure, email your child’s teacher ~ She can send you some information about what they’ve learned in the classroom regarding feelings and Twiggle the Turtle!
Ms. Roberta is scheduled to be in the classrooms on the following days. If you have questions for her as our Mental Health Consultant, please feel free to stop in during the day. She is willing to speak with parents about their child’s social and emotional health and behaviors.
