<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: #008000">Hello!  My name is Shalini Prasad-Heintz. I am so excited to be working with you this year! I am originally from Michigan and graduated from Michigan State University (GO GREEN!) I’ve been teaching for five years now.  This will be my third year teaching third grade.    I taught third grade for two years in Doraville, Georgia.  You might have seen me last year with the Kindergartners.  This is my second year at Ray Elementary.  I moved to Chicago two years ago and reside in Hyde Park.  I am also currently working on my Masters degree towards a Reading Specialist certificate at the University of Illinois at Chicago.</span></p>
