Ms. Flaherty’s Class

We had the MOST fun visiting @Courageleaguesp this morning! Thank you for teaching us about how you adapt to meet the needs of all and teach us ways to spread kindness. 💜

“Can I be the teacher today?” I LOVE when students feel confident enough to take control of the learning! 😌

Solving multidigit multiplication to build our own gingerbread village before we head out for winter break!

Following classroom expectations = SLIME MAKING PARTY! We only had a little fun with this reward today...😆

4F had a student WIN the halftime dance-off at the Drake basketball game today!! Such a fun day for all! ☺️🏆

Yesterday, we learned about the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and designed our own balloons.🎈 We hope everyone has a wonderful break!

4th graders are creating podcasts about how concussions impact the brain. @WDMCS @CliveAcademy

Working hard on our scripts to make our very own podcasts! Stay tuned for the end result...🙂

Brain models ✅ Amazing guest speaker✅ We are so thankful that we had Brenda from @CTEHope come talk to our classes about the dangers of concussions and how to properly treat head injuries! Next step: spreading awareness to all around us!! #projecttime

When it’s finally the weekend😎

End of the day calls for goodbye handshakes!

What does it look and sound like when you invite the class next door over for a brain break to baby shark in 4th grade? 😂 We love it!!

Favorite part of my room! We’ve been talking a lot about being aware of how we are feeling every day. Each student has a different, secret animal magnet to place on our “Daily Check-In.” Students feel safe sharing, and I have a key so I’m able to know how each kid is feeling.💜

Students were the experts today and led the review lesson on rounding☺️👏🏼

Safe to say that soft starts have been a success! 👍🏼

Never underestimate the power of saying "I'm glad you're here" to a student. #teachergoals

4F created a list of rules they wanted in their classroom and turned it into our classroom agreement. ☀️

How to make your new class frustrated with you: give them a bag of random things with zero direction and tell them they are supposed to play a game.😜 Entry event for first project ✅ We are one step closer to creating our own games to teach others about our Clive expectations!

It’s fun to take selfies during indoor recess😜📷 Only 4 days left as 4th graders!!

We love listening to podcasts so much that we just HAVE to keep listening during our indoor recess time 😆🙌🏽 @MarsPatel
