All About Mr. Flannery

A little about me...

Hello everyone, my name is Shane Flannery and I teach 4th grade science and social studies at Playa Del Rey Elementary School. I am 27 years old and this is my first full year teaching. I love games of strategy and chance, and spending time with my family and friends.

I graduated from the University of California, Irvine in 2014 with a bachelor of arts in Psychology and Social Behavior. After working various jobs in education and traveling the nation to play Magic: The Gathering at a professional level I returned to school and got my Masters of Elementary Education from Arizona State University in December of 2018.
